> I prefer the tank, personally... heheh. Although I think my dad holds the Neatest Place To Get Baptized award, as he got baptized on a church trip to Israel, in the River Jordan. He said it was freezing cold with snowmelt and full of dead fish, but hey.

The only Catholic baptism I remember going to was for friends of ours. The babies were baptized with water poured over the forehead -- not a full immersion, but not sprinkling. I'm not certain if this is the way all Catholic priests perform the physical act of the baptism. I have some memory of being told that when I was baptized, it was a 'sprinkle' baptism.

But to why I'm really replying:

Back when I was in college, a friend of mine -- a member of The Church of Christ -- was baptized in his bathtub.
