Charles ☭ is now tooting from queer.partyThe flying guy in the picture is St Joseph of Copertino, patron saint of aviation.
According to his hagiography, he wished to be a Franciscan but was rejected several times for lack of intelligence or educational attainment. Eventually, he was admitted anyway and became a priest. He reportedly levitated while saying mass.
The Spanish name for "Copertino" is Cupertino. Some in California established a parish dedicated to this priest in the disocese of San Jose - St Joseph. There are many Catholic churches in the area named after the parton of he diocese. St Josphes of Mountain View, St Josephs of San Jose (I know), St Joseph of Los Altos. And also the parish St Joseph of Cupertino. So when the area got more populous and needed a post office and city governance and all that, well, if they've got a church St Joseph of Cupertino, that must be the town name, right?
Anyway, then 50 years later Apple moved in and now the extremely dull suburb is famous.
Also, the church says it's Thursday office hours are 1-4, but nobody is answering the phone.
