Where there's smoke there's fire

Monday, October 15, 2007 8:52 PM
Some yahoo in Poland took a photo of a bonfire with a cheapo camera, and its cheapo slow lens (probably exposed for a full second) recorded an image of the flames repeatedly folding back on themselves. The gullible see an image of Pope John Paul II (

Saturday, June 09, 2007 4:30 PM
All religions are strange to one degree or another, but this one takes the cake : a cargo cult in the South Pacific whose believers are convinced that Prince Philip (yes, that Prince Philip ) is a god. They could've at least picked someone a little less

Monday, May 14, 2007 6:13 PM

The devil made 'em do it

Friday, April 27, 2007 9:15 PM
A Utah Republican has introduced a resolution in his county asserting that illegal immigration is the work of Satan. No, really. I'm not making this up. Here's what he says: "In order for Satan to establish his 'New World Order' and destroy the freedom
