  1. I thought you meant "regular or extra crispy" I think people were regular and then they turned EXTRA CRISPY as time went on. Hey (eyes)I liked the wowburger!
  2. Jesus came upon a small crowd who had surrounded a young woman they believed to be an adulteress. They were preparing to stone her to death. To calm the situation, Jesus said: "Whoever is without sin among you, let them cast the first stone." Suddenly, an old lady at the back of the crowd picked up a huge rock and lobbed it at the young woman, scoring a direct hit on her head. The unfortunate young lady collapsed dead on the spot. Jesus looked over towards the old lady and said: "Do you know, Mother, sometimes you really .... me off."
  3. Reminds me of the blues brothers movie where people are jumping and flying thru the air (you gotta see it It is funny!!)

  5. <H4 class=title> :unsure: Those Slain in the Spirit Must Be Borne Up By the Beefy</H4>John Bloom You know those beefy guys who stand on the stage at healing services and catch people who fall backwards after Benny Hinn blows on them or they get caught up in a paroxysm of Holy Spirit Fever and lapse into a coma? At Mike Sexton’s Lakewind Fellowship Church in Knoxville, they’re called “assigned catchers,” and they have periodic meetings to discuss catching strategy. Alas, this wasn’t enough to help the luckless Matthew Lincoln, who was seized by the spirit on June 6, 2007, after being lightly touched on the forehead by visiting minister Robert Lavala, causing him to fall backward sans catcher, striking his head and back on a “carpet-covered cement floor.” Lincoln, age 57, was well known to church elders, having regularly received the spirit and fallen backwards since 1995, but since he had a pre-existing degenerative disc disease caused by a 1994 fall resulting in surgical fusion of two vertebrae, his 2007 tumble proved permanently disabling and disastrous for his music production company and recording studio, which had, among other things, been previously struck by lightning. Lincoln is asking the church for $2.5 million to make up for its catcher negligence, and yet his wife Shirley Lincoln wants only $75,000 for “loss of consortium” with her husband, indicating that the recording studio was not the only thing previously struck by lightning.

    Reality TV

    TRUE REALITY TV By ONLINE EXTRA Why should the devil have all the bad programming? Turn on the television any night and “reality TV” is coming at you. It’s time for Christians to show what true reality is. Here are some new shows to look for in the coming season. “No Idols Before Me” CBN’s answer to Fox’s American Idol is a CCM standoff between ten future stars pulled from the masses to sing praise to the Lord. Each week these spiffy kids will sing their hearts out and Christians all over America will vote to say who is called to a ministry of godly fame and fortune. Celebrity judges will include Bill Gaither, Kenneth Copeland, and Kid Rock. “Damascus Road” Cosponsored by NASCAR and the Southern Baptist Convention, this high-energy show will put contestants in stock cars on the track at Daytona. Every so often, giant halogen spotlights will glare directly into the drivers’ eyes as they hit speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. The last one driving is the true disciple and will lead the opening prayer at the Indianapolis 500. “Prayer Warrior” Kenneth Copeland will host this unusual prayer fest that tests the praying power of two opposing factions of Christians. The early episodes will pit the fans of two rival high school football teams in West Texas, with later episodes focusing on more divisive issues, including women’s ordination and the spiritual value of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. “Faith Factor” Staged in a full-sized replica of the Coliseum built outside of Rome, Georgia, this series will test the contestants’ faith right up to the edges of martyrdom, or at least until somebody flinches. The final episode will include lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my. “Plague” The abandoned Biosphere project will be the home for this collection of contestants who will fight to see who can survive the reenactment of the plagues on Egypt. The episode of boils will require a parental advisory warning. “Who Wants to be a Missionary?” Regis Philbin returns to host this trivia game centered around international trivia and improvisational Bible translating. Sixteen correct answers lead to quite a cache of treasures in heaven and an appointment to serve among the unchurched people groups of Outer Mongolia and Parsippany, New Jersey. “Are You Healed?” Celebrity judges Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, and Pat Robertson call physically handicapped contestants to come on stage, toss away their crutches, and walk away healed. The winner will be obvious. “What’s Ruby’s Price?” Point of Grace will guide a young Christian bachelor who seeks to discern the one whom God has chosen for him – that one whose price is above rubies – from a bevy of ecumenical beauties. The final episode will be a wedding in the Crystal Cathedral; the losers will be sent as missionaries to Uzbekistan. Check your TV Guide for listings in your area.

  11. The Demon in the Freezer: A True StoryRichard Preston does it again in yet another non-fiction book that is centered around a virus. This time it is the smallpox virus, with a bit of anthrax mixed in. "The Demon in the Freezer" provides the reader with shockingly true stories behind the smallpox virus, as well as startling facts. Over the course of the book you will learn about certain outbreaks, and the people that eradicated the smallpox virus. A history of the virus, and the role it has played in nature. This book does not read like a medical book by any means. Think of it as a intriguing biography, but in this case, it is of a virus. There is also a lot of information concerning the anthrax attacks that occurred in the US in 2001. How the government approached it, and what they feared might happen. You as the reader follow the paper trail, as the officials did. While not as in-depth as the sections on smallpox, it still satisfies your interest. "The Demon in the Freezer" also contains information which are current headlines. Such as nations that may possess smallpox as well as other potential biological weapons. The possible effects bioengineering of smallpox may hold, and how the vaccine would hold up. Background information, the type which either are not reported, or just completely missed. The most shocking thing about this book is that it is non-fiction, yet it reads as amazing as fiction. "The Demon in the Freezer" is by far one of the finest books written on smallpox and doesn't bore you with terminology. One of the best books I've read in a long time! Anyone that has read Richard Preston's previous award winning book "The Hot Zone" will be greatly pleased with this piece as well. Not for the squeamish though! If you are unfamiliar with Preston's work, he is a "Centers for Disease Control's Champion of Prevention Award" winner, the only non-physician ever to receive that award. His reporting is highly credible and often quoted by others in the medical field. "The Demon in the Freezer" is his fourth bestseller.
  12. Try the book The Speckled Monster No one on earth has ever seen “the speckled monster” (smallpox) at full force, yet it was once "far and away the most vicious killer ever to stalk the human species." More deadly than the Black Plague, because it was no respecter of seasons. While the plague would die back for years at a time, smallpox was perennial. Unlike tuberculosis, a murderous monster of more recent times, it was no respecter of social class - it entered the hovels of the poor and the palaces of royalty, striking down kings, beggars, and little princes in their beds. Jennifer Lee Carrell has researched her book in tireless, sometimes harrowing detail, so that we who never witnessed it - the last known case of smallpox anywhere was reported in 1977 - are brought within inches of the insidious machinations of the tireless killer doing its worst. It was called "the speckled monster" because variola in its early phase mockingly resembles measles, but as the infection rapidly spreads through the body, it shows its true hideous character: "The queen's face swelled as her mouth, nose and throat filled with so many blisters that they ran together into one raw sore...blood seeped from around her eyes and through her gums...the slightest touch against her, peeled her skin away in strips, leaving her shivering like a creature flayed alive." This was hemorrhagic smallpox, invariably fatal, taking its course in six days or less. Survivors of the less surely fatal variations of the disease would be scarred, grotesquely, for life. Such was the fate of Lady Mary Montagu, the heroine of Carrell's account. A great beauty, favored companion of noblemen and the king of England, Lady Mary was attacked by smallpox in her youthful prime, and rarely afterwards ever appeared publicly without a veil. A woman of letters, a poet and unusually forthright for a female of the early 1700s, she accompanied her husband to Turkey and there learned of a technique known as variolation, known to the modern world as inoculation. Turkish women and others throughout the "less civilized" world, had for centuries immunized family and friends with the pox itself, in a brutal but brief surgery. Those so immunized had about an 80% chance of never getting smallpox. Was that chance enough to convince the English establishment that everyone should submit to the procedure? When questioned whether it was worth the risk, Lady Mary would uncover her disfigured face, as a single, simple, poignant reason. Lady Mary had her own children inoculated, inviting the scorn and suspicion of her peers. But she was visited frequently, clandestinely, by desperate parents who sought knowledge of the process that could save their little ones. She became an outspoken campaigner in the fight against the disease. Simultaneously, in an intriguing historical parallel, Zabdiel Boyleston, an American physician, also survived the disease and inoculated his children, inspired by a handful of believers. Among them was the renowned Cotton Mather, who learned of the treatment from his African slaves. While such a process could have been seen as tantamount to witchcraft in eighteenth-century Boston, Zabdiel championed the procedure despite the pressures against him, including attempts on his life. This led eventually to general acceptance of variolation and, by 1790, to the discovery of the benign virus, cowpox, a gentler weapon against this most savage of killers. Carrell links the two unlikely heroes - Boyleston, a practical, pioneering American of no distinguished lineage, and Lady Mary who consorted with the fabled poets and intellectuals of her day - through their similar agonies with the disease and their conviction, despite fears, threats and misgivings, that their children should be inoculated. Careful to cite her sources, Jennifer Lee Carrell creates a rich, novelistic chronicle - combination science, history and a well-told human-scale story that will satisfy readers on several levels.
  13. With his 1994 sensation The Hot Zone, science writer Richard Preston terrified millions by describing how the Ebola virus left victims hemorrhaging from every orifice. In his new book, Panic in Level 4: Cannibals, Killer Viruses, and Other Journeys to the Edge of Science (, he continues to probe nature's stranger side, including what DNA tastes like and a disease that compels people to chew their own flesh. He talks with USA TODAY. Q: In Panic, you quote an Ebola expert: "In the battle between the doctors and the bugs, in the long run, I'd put my money on the bugs." Does this mean we're all doomed to die from some horrible virus? A: I don't believe in a biological apocalypse, but I think there is stormy biological weather ahead as the human population continues to grow. We're creating these massive urban areas in the Third World. It's like you take the entire population of California and put it in one city. Then you remove basic sanitation and medical services, and you have a ticking biological time bomb. I think we're going to see an emergency that could really challenge the global medical system and cost a lot of human lives. Q: What should we do? A: On the individual level, make sure people are properly vaccinated. The standard flu vaccine may well protect against avian flu or be at least partly effective. Give kids their shots. We should also demand that our local and federal governments spend more money on public health. And third, we need to continue to invest in biotechnology. Q: Any updates on Ebola? A: It continues to smolder in Africa. There has been a very recent outbreak of a new Ebola type in Uganda. It was causing symptoms that didn't look like classic Ebola, so doctors didn't know what they were dealing with.

    Cocaine?

    Didn't know where to put this? <H4 class=title>Wasn’t Cocaine Jesus a Hippie Song? </H4>was arrested for paying a woman to carry a seven-pound religious statue across the border at Laredo, Texas, when the colorfully painted statue--which might have been Joseph and might have been Jesus--turned out to be made entirely of cocaine. First of all, we should be encouraging the revival of the folkloric crafts in Mexico, especially in this age of cheap onyx burros and sombrero paperweights. Secondly, there may be religious sects in Mexico that practice the inhalation of iconic figurines, so who are we to judge? And finally, no one would have noticed such a fine piece of craftsmanship had it not been for the vague, poorly articulated execution of the face. Was it Jesus or was it Joseph? Obviously every customs and immigration agent for 90 miles around, on both sides of the border, is going to crowd around to argue the issue.
