      The magus has annointed the fighter jet in holy oil, and has recited the sacred binary scripture.

    This reminds me of the time when I accidentally walked to the Kawasaki Daishi Prayer Hall for Safe Driving, and attended a ceremony for… blessing your… car… I stood by an empty parking space.

    Let’s just hope it’s not a State Shinto blessing, otherwise this jet will be used exclusively for war crimes.
