Did Jesus play pool? Who did he play? What speed? What was his strongest game?

There have been several claims for the longest sentence in the English language.
There is no absolute limit on the length of an English sentence. A sentence describing successive reading, for example, could be infinitely long, and one concatenating clauses with grammatical conjunctions such as and could go on as long as material may be supplied. Thus, at least one linguistics textbook concludes that "there is no longest English sentence".[1] Another way to extend sentences indefinitely is by the addition of modifiers and modifier clauses, such as
The rat that the cat that the dog chased ran.[2]
or of successive extensions of the form
Someone thinks/knows/believes that someone thinks/knows/believes that....[3]
This highlights the difference between linguistic performance and linguistic competence, because the language can support more variation than can reasonably be created or recorded.[3]

Of course, haven't you read the bible?
He played 14.1 and his high run was 1225 unfinished. He got bored.
Jesus "Chuey" Rivera was a very good player out of Colorado. I think he even won a couple of the BCA events in years past. A good little hustler as well. Of course he had God on his side! :thumbup:
And then there was Jesus Helfert, an ancient ancestor of mine. He played lights out until he got bitten by religious fervor and became a Tibetan monk. After thirty years someone put a pool table in the monastery and he began to play again. Last I heard he was playing $2 One Pocket in Pocatello, Idaho.

LOL I was going to post this same picture but you beat me to it. I'll just quote it instead. :grin:
Sure he did, he was a road player. ZZ Top wrote a song about it.
Jesus just Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans
Well now, Jesus just Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans
Yeah, Yeah
Workin' from one end to the other and all points in between
Well, that's what I thought the song was about :grin:

He invented the game, and since he was the only one playing there was no such thing as speed. And he still hustled which was very hard to do because no one knew what the hustle was. A typical hustle was "I'll bet you i can hit this white ball with the pointy end of this stick, without the use of chalk or le pro tip, against that black ball and make that black ball go into that hole over there". The usual response was, "Huh?".
9ball was his strongest game because he didn't have the cueball control for 14.1

Players who play like Jesus Himself are not as good as the players who "play like God".
