smashing pumpkins fans

... i recently noticed something :

... the pumpkins' first CD of b-sides was Pisces Iscariot ... their last CD of 'b-sides' was the bonus disc that came with Rotten Apples, Judas 0 [the slash through the circle on the cd indicates that this is a zero, not an O as i've always heard it pronounced ... but hey, we do that with phone number zeros as well ...]

... Billy is a Pisces (of course ... ), and the main 'character' in his songs is a man named Zero ... maybe you noticed the shirt ... or listened to the lyrics of the song ... you can listen to Machina for his story ... then the rest of the albums for his full story ... or look on my wall sometime and ask me what that little girl is doing on that praying guy's head ... but i digress ...

... the twelth aspostle was Judas, the guy who betrayed Jesus and turned him in to the authorities in Jerusalem ... but what i just noticed in this online bible is that Judas is actually called Judas Iscariot! maybe everyone knows that, but it didn't ... the annotated version of the bible also has the following footnote:

Iscariot: ... means "a man who was a liar"

... so, some fun facts ... ... the pumpkins' first and last b-sides albums again are ...

Pisces Iscariot
Judas 0 [zero]
