or maybe half of them....i mean, wasn't azrael the other half?
In Muslim theology, Azrael is the angel of death; his job is very similar to "Loki's" in Kevin's DOGMA cosmology...
According to folklore/oral history, it is the angel Azreal that is the instrument by which our lifespans are so short... Something along the lines of Moses petitioning God, after he heard the world-weary complaints of a 500 year old woman, to do something about it. God then tapped Azrael to take people's lives after they had lived about 70 years.
This begs the question.. Kev, did you name "your" Azrael "Azrael" on purpose, knowing that his tradional role was more of a "grim reaper/Loki" deal, or did you just like the name?
It's all a riddle inside a mystery, wrapped up in an enigma. Which is a fitting description for Taco Bell's chalupa, as well.

(I think it was because Gargamel's cat was named Azreal.)
