      The implication is that Apollo’s most favored bird took offense to Fabio’s comparison or that Apollo encouraged it to do so, resulting in this “attack.”

      There are other clarifications about the actual circumstances in thread that are worth reading, but they don’t really change the humor of OP, IMO.

          From the perspective of Christians anyone else is a Pagan IIRC, but I could be wrong. It’s kinda potato/potato though I understand your preference for accuracy either way.
