Mario was actually a high profile lawyer with a love of turtles and a hobby of mushroom hunting. He was on his way to a sentencing hearing for a case that was going to be the pinnacle of his career when he was hit by a drunk driver. Every Mario game takes place in his mind while he lays in hospital in a coma.

This verse has been interpreted in the Left Behind series IIRC too.
They religious nutters will say it was God intervening, but the evangelicals will mysteriously forget that the Bible says that The Antichrist will miraculously recover from a head wound.
Reading this is an actual cognitive hazard.
If you thought a moon base was kooky, you’re in for a wild ride lol.
