[edit] vandalism

yeah someone wrote under importan births 1990 - Ian Lozinski, Cool Pimp Master , yeah im just gonna go and remove that

I removed "000 Jesus Nailed to Cross". I believe it to be vandalism, but it may just be poorly formated and with the wrong date (we don't know what year he was crucified, let alone the date). CsikosLo (talk) 16:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
