A T-shirt: "The Bible talks all about St. Paul. It doesn't mention Minneapolis." Civic pride!

    Also, it is not at all true that "the Bible talks all about St. Paul."  The Christian chunk of the Bible, aka the New Testament, contains some letters allegedly written by Saint Paul; and he is a big hero in the Acts of the Apostles.  But elsewhere he is not mentioned at all.  And even in those places where his name comes up, we struggle and strain to find out much biographical information of any real value.
    Mind you, I have nothing against either of those rival cities in Minnesota.  But they would not be my first choice -- nothing personal! -- when I need to escape the rising sea levels.

    Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

    My TakeWhile I haven't been there in a long time, my experience was that Minneapolis was a progressive place with some cool people, while St. Paul was a conservative hellhole filled with jerks.  And that's being diplomatic!  I think that's what the T-shirt is about, coming from the jerk point of view.
