That second account, the Jamesian Reference, a partial interpolation itself, only ever gets trotted out because it rides on the coat-tails of the Testimonium Flavianum, which is an admitted and patently obvious forgery (partial or otherwise). So both references can be safely ruled out. Particularly since the Jesus that James is the brother of is the High Priest Jesus bar Damneus.

Apart from the hisorical fact that there was no Nazareth until a couple of centuries later. A bit like saying Abraham Lincoln of Disneyland and with surprisingly close parallels. Except that Lincoln really existed, obviously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
