I passed a van today that, based on its graphics, appeared to be affiliated with a church or ministry of some sort out of Illinois.  The name of this church?  "Jesus es el Senor."  Now, I have not taken Spanish, but I believe that translates to "Jesus is the Man."  That could be a church I can get behind.

Hah hah, that is awesome. Technically "Senor" means, like, "Sir," which means in that context it really just means "Jesus is the Lord," but your translation really brings it to the masses!

Oh, yeah, you're probably right now that I think about what very little bit of Spanish I'm sort of aware of. I suppose they would have used hombre or something like that if they had meant "man." Oh well. I still think it would be a great message and excellent marketing plan.

Well, I kind of think the connotation of "hombre" is more "man" lower-case and if you really DID want to say "You're THE Man" Senor would be a good choice, so it still works!

PS-- Sam looked at the screen and got really excited about Elmo's head and pointed it out to make sure I'd seen it.
