A devout Catholic who popped into church to thank God for his rescue from a lift was crushed to death by a 860lb stone altar, the Telegraph reports.

Top work oh invisible bearded one. 😆
Our Lord works in mysterious ways 😆
Looks like he was really meant to die! First lightning strike didnt work! (Poor guy+family!)
coffeeking - that 'poor guy & family' addition was the shi***st ever attempt at sympathy I've ever seen - chapeaux!
"the telegraph reports" but links to the register. Curious.....
Story was in The Register, referencing the story in The Telegraph.
I cut-n-pasted from El Reg, cos I can just about justify looking at that at work, but The Telegraph is clearly skiving!
There's a God? 😯
It's like "Final Destination" spooky..
How do they know it was exactly 860lb ..
(Or was it written on the side like the heavy weights in roadrunner cartoons?)
Haven't you seen CSI?
They would have had to set up incredibly precise re-enactments of the entire event to establish how he died. Probably using lasers and stuff.
Smite me oh mighty smiter!
the devil did it
LOL ! Couldn't make that sort of stuff up !
Well actually you could help it along a bit .........
According to the Austrian Times the incident did not occur inside a church nor did it involve a 'stone altar'.
It happened outside in a church yard, and involved a gravestone.
Still, who can blame the Telegraph for 'playing around with the facts' if it makes the story even more amusing and unbelievable.
Smiting? I'll show you bloody smiting you unbelieving dogs! Now where did I put my smiting stick? Hang on, oh bo***cks, I know its here somewhere...
But surely no coincidence that at exactly this time the rain has stopped. Just goes to prove god is a man and can't multi task.
Men _can_ multitask, they just don't get left alone long enough to do anything 🙂
God definitely can't multitask, if even existing is too much effort multitasking is definitely out of the question.
Pictures Pulp Fiction-style scene:
"Also, you know what they call a 860 Pound Stone Altar with Irony in Austria?"
Jules: "They don't call it a 860 Pound Stone Altar with Irony?"
Vincent: "No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the f*** 860lbs is."
Jules: "What'd they call it?"
Vincent: "200 kilo gravestone."
🙂
Love the Pulp Fiction-style screenplay
and the litle tease at the end!
200 kilos is about 441 pounds - so he was half right
maybe he chose the wrong god?
Dyslexic and prayed to Dog?!
