Upon closer scrutiny we realised that the Greek word Magi, meaning wise men, was also commonly used to refer to Aussie DJs, probably ironically.’</p> <p>The Oxford team believe that the presence of the DJs was part of an elaborate hoax. ‘It seems likely that they believed it amusing to bluff their way into the stable in Bethlehem by pretending to be relatives of Mary and Joseph’ he said. ‘Of course, the inn-keeper should have realised they weren’t, but with all those shepherds and angels all over the place, that freaky star in the sky and the fact that the inn was extremely busy that night, you can’t really blame him for letting them in.’</p> <p>The revelation has led to nativity plays across the Christian world being hastily rewritten. ‘I myself am looking forward to watching my nephew playing Aussie DJ Number Two in his school play next week’ confirmed Professor Fallon. 'His mum tells me his tearful apology afterwards is really something.' </p>
