Guest IYG Posted January 11, 2005 Preacher dies with heaven on his lips: OVIEDO, Florida (AP) -- A Presbyterian minister collapsed and died at the pulpit after saying "And when I go to heaven...," his colleague said. The Rev. Jack Arnold, 69, was nearing the end of his sermon Sunday at Covenant Presbyterian Church when he grabbed the podium before falling to the floor, said the Rev. Michael S. Beats, the church's associate pastor. Several parishioners with medical backgrounds tried to revive Arnold and paramedics were called, but he appeared to die instantly, Beats said. Arnold had been the senior minister at the church in this Orlando suburb until the late 1990s when he began traveling to Africa and the Middle East to teach pastors. The cause of death was believed to be cardiac arrest. He had bypass surgery five years earlier. I must say that's a bit creepy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Yeti 14 Posted March 14, 2005 "Historians aren't sure but Britannic either struck a mine (laid by German U-boat, U-73 ) or was torpedoed. The Britannic now began sinking at the bow.... At the same time, Violet Jessop, a nurse's aid onboard, was fixing a breakfast tray for a friend who was too sick to eat in the dinning room.... This was not the first emergency Violet Jessop had been in. She was a stewardess onboard Britannic's sister, RMS Olympic when the Olympic and Hawke collision occurred. She was also a stewardess on the RMS Titanic when it sank. She therefore survived all three Olympic-class ship emergencies." Lucky ? Moi ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IYG Posted May 23, 2005 Star Wars Tragedy: Boy Dies After Leaping Into Lava Flow I was almost going to take this seriously but I'm guessing that news site is about as true as The Onion is. I need to remember the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
