Can you hear it too?
Every so often I think about how in the book of Acts, Judas simply exploded.

Some (two?) of the gospels say that Judas hanged himself, and that's generally the accepted story. Most scholars believe either that Acts is apocrypha, or the writer was making some sort of metaphorical statement, or possibly the writer was describing something that can happened to hanged bodies sometimes where they bloat up and burst after a while. But that's all going beyond the text. The book says he tripped in a field and gibbed for no reason.
