Merry Christmas to all!

Once upon a time David Gerrold had an essay on his forum. Here it is:
Sb: Bullwinkle is dead!!
Fm: David Gerrold
You may have heard that Bullwinkle the Moose was found dead. And a
special prosecutor was appointed to investigate the mysterious
circumstances of the moose’s death.
Most people are aware of the fact that the moose was found crushed to
death by a 16-ton anvil dropped from a great height. And of course,
everybody was certain that the moose’s live-in companion (and isn’t that
an interesting euphemism?) a certain hyperactive flying squirrel, was
the most likely suspect. But further investigation revealed a number of
things. First, JPL did a computer simulation and determined that a
flying squirrel could not achieve airspeed while carrying a 16-ton
anvil, so that cleared Rocket J. Squirrel.
But the coroner reported that the expression on the moose’s face showed
absolutely no fear, so obviously the anvil hit him unexpectedly, or he
was completely trusting of the circumstances — which could implicate
Rocky after all. The expression on the moose’s face was the biggest
smile ever seen on a Toon.
Clutched in the moose’s baseball mitt — which he always wore when he
caught Rocky — was a tiny statue of the Buddha. The religious
significance of this is not immediately clear; neither is the eyewitness
report of a rabbi on a pogo stick rapidly leaving the scene.
So…if we summarize the clues in Bullwinkle’s death, what we have is:
wee Vishnu, a merry crushed moose, and a hoppy Jew near.
