I always thought it sounded more like, "Ni-na-nnooooo!" followed by, "Aiii-oooh-yoyo.."

This made me laugh when I heard it this morning, maybe it's the way it's reported:
http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/match-heart-attack-victim-making-progress-481971.html

A heart attack victim is said to be making good progress in hospital after being brought back to life at the FAI Cup Final in Dublin on Sunday.

A volunteer medic, and other doctors who were at the match attended the scene in the stand at the Aviva, and found the man in his 70s had no pulse and had stopped breathing.

While a priest administered last rites, the medical team used a defibrillator to start his heart beating again.

I have this Ted-esque image in my head;

Onlooker: He's having a heart attack! Quick, what do we do?!

Priest: Sure, let's just have an aul pray...

When god brings people back to life, it's a miracle. When a doctor brings people back to life, it's just modern medicine and no big deal.

What could have happened, but didn't:

Priest: In nomine patris, et filii et spiritus sancti...
God: He's not dead, he's just resting.
Priest: Grand, I'll grab the doctors then.

Alternatively when god brings people back to life, it's a miracle, but when someone is allowed to die - it's free will!

Five months early for April 1, reports indicate that Brazilian fundamentalists have claimed that USB is Satan's own data connector!

Some Brazil Nut wrote:

The evangelical cult "Paz do Senhor Amado" ("Peace Beloved of the Lord") in the interior of Brazil forbids its followers to use any USB technology by contending that it uses a symbol that makes apology to the devil.

According to its founder, the "Apostle" Welder Saldanha says that this is just a symbol of Satan, is always present in all Christian homes.

"The symbol of that name (he even likes to pronounce) is a trident, which is used to torture souls go to hell. Use only a symbol of those shows that all users of this technology pífia are actually worshipers of Satan" - explains the" Apostle".

Measures were taken so that all the USB connections of his followers were exchanged for common connections and even the Bluetooth (sic), which according to Saldanha Welder is permitted, for "Blue was the color of the eyes of our savior Jesus Christ".

Proxima Centauri

Was watching him last night on C4, liked his bit were he described himself as not an atheist but anti-theist. Had a good giggle at his pope joke

Was a quality show too. I'm listening to the Ricky Gervais xfm podcasts, him and Steven merchant have mentioned that they're atheists too.

Lol, was going to call you on that. Seemed unnecessarily harsh. Figured something had went horribly wrong in translation........or you had been hitting the Southern Comfort brutally hard.
