Jesus literally in her heart

A teenager was killed yesterday when her plastic Jesus dashboard figure was driven into her chest by her car's airbag which inflated during an accident involving two other vehicles.

17-year-old Darlene Fulps of Cincinnati, USA was apparently holding her Jesus figure close to her chest when she ran through a red light and collided with two other vehicles in a busy intersection.

"The air bag inflated and pushed the head of Jesus straight through her heart," said Tom Young, medical examiner at the scene of the accident. "If it wasn't for the plastic Jesus, Ms. Fulps would still be alive today." "Air bags have saved thousands of lives, but in this case it actually took a life, thanks to Jesus," said police officer Graham Pryor, first officer at the scene.

Robert Fulps, Darlene's father and devout Christian man said "It was just our daughter's time to go, and we can't question the actions of God. My daughter loved Jesus and worshipped Him, and I think she's probably talking to Him in heaven right now."

"We gave our daughter the dashboard Jesus for her birthday last year, and she really liked it," said Mrs. Gladys Fulps. "It's too bad that Jesus ended up killing her, but we believe she's in heaven now, and we're happy for her, and hope to re-unite with her when we get to heaven."

Ever feel like this ?
In 1883, Henry Ziegland broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide.

The girl's enraged brother hunted down Ziegland and shot him. Believing he had killed Ziegland, the brother then took his own life. In fact, however, Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet had only grazed his face, lodging into a tree. It was a narrow escape.

Years later, Ziegland decided to cut down the same tree, which still had the bullet in it. The huge tree seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.
In Beatrice, Nebraska, on March 1, 1950, all church choir members scheduled to appear for group practice arrived late. Each member's various reasons for being tardy were unrelated.

But it was a lucky escape. At 7:20 the church was destroyed by a gas explosion.
In 1994, a 60-year-old Dutchman named Cor Stoop took a cruise, became seasick and lost his false teeth overboard. Later a fisherman caught a cod which had swallowed some false teeth. Upon hearing about it on the radio, Mr. Stoop contacted the fisherman and was reunited with his missing teeth

The most beautiful words in German

Germany's Goethe Institute and the German Language Council, guardians of the language, organised a contest to highlight beautiful German words to show that the German language could be every bit as romantic and glamorous as Italian or French. (This is not a joke) Thousands of German speakers from all over the world took part and the winner was chosen from 22,000 entries from 111 countries

Habseligkeiten - 'property' - voted the most beautiful
Rhabarbermarmelade - 'rhubarb jam' - the runner up
Geborgenheit - 'security' - third place

Now you know

Eisenhower, former president of USA, wrote in November 8, 1954:


"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

Vanishing lake - I thought the Americans had done it!

Residents of a village in central Russia are trying to solve the mystery of a lake that disappeared overnight from nearby the village of Bolotnikovo in Nizhny Novgorod region.

Local officials say the lake was probably sucked into an underground cave. "It looks like somebody has pulled the plug out of a gigantic bath,". Rescuers were called out to search the uncovered lake bed to see if anybody could have been sucked under, but it is thought no-one was on the lake when the waters vanished.

"It's very dangerous. If somebody is caught by such a calamity, the chances of survival are practically nil," fireman Dmitry Zaitsev said, pointing out that lakeside trees appeared to have been dragged down with the water. "Several houses were swallowed up in similar circumstances 70 years ago."

But more supernatural explanations were circulating among the villagers, including the influence of dark forces. Older residents said the lake had appeared during the reign of the feared Tsar Ivan the Terrible and had been "shrouded in dark mystery" ever since. "We used to go swimming there, but we were rather afraid of its depth, and there were various rumours. For instance people said there used to be a church there underwater. "

But one elderly villager sitting outside her house had another kind of force in mind.

"I thought the Americans had got here," she said

Why is that ill-mannered calorie-enhanced trout Amanda Vanstone srill in her job ? And who could explain why the head of the Immigration Department (DIMIA) Bill Farmer is still collecting his salary -- after the latest revelations that Detention Centre staff repeatedly warned that Cornelia Rau was an Australian citizen

The sort of message we've been getting so far from Minister Vanstone is, despite Rau's mental illness, she deviously deceived and lied to DIMIA officials about her identity, thus preventing them from doing their duty. Bastards
