According to the U.S. National Weather Service, approximately 73 people per year are killed by this type of sign.

How many are hit by lightning indoors? How many of those that are hit by lightning indoors escape without a scratch?

How many of those that are hit by lightning indoors and escape unharmed had just asked for a sign from God?

"Afterwards services resumed, however churchgoers realised after 20 minutes that the building was on fire and evacuated"

"The fire was put out after three hours, but damage to the church is estimated at around $20,000."

Oh the irony

This thread is likely to get locked. OIO, you're one of my favourite BBS posters, but it looks like you're laughing at someone having died. That's not nice, and trust me: Skuzzy won't like it. You might want to remove that grin thing.

But it does remind me of another tragedy - California about 20 years ago. Someone was being baptised - the full immersion job - but the water heating short circuited, and the person being baptised was electrocuted.

Nobody died.

I think Beetle is asking for a Sign from Skuzzy

Atually Beetle died but hasn't recognised that yet. When he does the embarassment will just KILL him.

Infinite probability … at some point a random “sign” will appear at just the right time.
