The shroud of turin and stigmata

[OneLight]

Nothing about filling his pants at all ...

In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6 Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other.

Seems his facial expression changed and he became weak kneed.

I beg to differ.

Dan 5:6  Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. (KJV)

Noun: loins
1. The lower part of the abdomen just above the external genital organs
2. The region of the hips and groin and lower abdomen

Noun: loin
1. A cut of meat taken from the side and back of an animal between the ribs and the rump
2. Either side of the backbone between the hipbone and the ribs in humans as well as quadrupeds

Medically speaking, today we would say sphincter muscle. So yes, I would say there is some humor here, but not for Belshazzar.

Sorry, I know how you are getting a chuckle out of what you think this means, but it is not what it meant.  Look up the following: that the joints (H7001) of his loins (H2783) were loosed (H8271) ... it really means his hip joints and/or vertebra.
