Flight attendants share their craziest stories, and one is about somebody we all know very well.

Oh god we're all gonna die!

Courtesy of the Daily Mail:  

'I was a flight attendant for a regional airline working on board Embraer 145s and a highlight of my career was Sarah Palin freaking the f**k out when we got hit by lightning. 

'We were headed to Rapid City SD out of Denver, this was long after the 2008 election so it took me a moment to even realise it was her, and the first words she spoke to me were, "you have alcohol on this plane right?". 

'We went through a storm and got hit by lightning that left a baseball size hole in the tail. 

'She was screaming and carrying on and I was just like, chill lady, we aren't going to crash.' 

"Screaming and carrying on." Yep that sounds about right.

Over the years I have heard literally dozens of stories about Sarah Palin freaking out, and also of her love for alcohol, so I have no trouble believing this one. 

In fact I have shared stories right here on IM in the past from people who have traveled on an airplane with Sarah Palin and they are always enlightening.

Of course the most famous Sarah Palin air travel story will always be this one.

P.S. Just a heads up that the post you are all waiting to read will publish tomorrow morning.  Sleep tight.

Lightning strikes worker at Creationist Museum. Is anybody else struck by the shocking irony?

Courtesy of WLWT:  

A staff member was injured Wednesday while clearing guests from a zip line at the Creation Museum. Staffers had cleared the lines before 1:20 p.m. as storms moved into Boone County. 

Museum officials said a male staffer touched an object that had been energized by lightning and was injured. 

He was taken to an area hospital as a precaution, but his injuries were not considered to be serious. 

The zip line attraction opened this spring to help the religion-themed museum attract a wider audience. 

So..many...puns.

I am a non-superstitious thinker so I am unable to equate this with God punishing these people for misinterpreting his book. However I would like to point out that if these idiots did not continue to reject science they would have realized that hanging off of a metal structure in a lightning storm might not be the smartest idea.

And by the way, what kind of "museum" has to install a zip line in order to increase attendance?

One that is losing money hand over fist, that's what kind.

Christianity in complete disarray as God smites Jesus with lightning bolt and completely destroys Him.

From the Dayton Daily News:

The large Jesus statue iconic to Interstate 75 in Monroe is destroyed following an apparent lightning strike during a thunderstorm.

Motorists were stopped along the highway and around the Monroe area to watch the 62-foot “King of Kings” statue burn. The fire was reported just 11:15 p.m. Monday, June 15. Within minutes, all that was left was the steel frame of the statue at Solid Rock Church, 904 N. Union Road.

Church member Cassie Browning, 27 of Dayton, said she was driving north on I-75 on her way back from Tennessee when her family noticed the statue was missing. “It meant so much to so many people,” said Browning.

“It’s crazy,” said Ted Williams, 35, of Monroe, who could see the statue ablaze from a Shell gas station along Ohio 63.

Sometimes I write a post just for me.

My headline is sort of tongue in cheek of course but we all know that if lightning had struck a tree or building and left a burn that even remotely resembled Jesus, or the Virgin Mary, or even Justin Bieber, people would flock from miles around just to get a glimpse of it and perhaps touch it believing that it had healing properties and could cure their cancer, or their club foot, or that burning sensation when they pee.

But NOBODY will see this as a sign that the people who built it had offended God, or that the Christianity of today has no resemblance to the teachings of Jesus Christ.  Just like nobody ever takes it as a sign from God when a church gets hit by lightning and burns to the ground.  They will just shrug their shoulders, and say "shit happens", and then run off to find the next water stain on a bathroom floor that kind of resembles Pope John Paul if you turn the lights down low and squint with one eye while standing on the toilet seat.

Because essentially, the majority of people are sheep who just desperately want to have their superstitions reinforced without having to consider that out of all of the possible religious, or non-religious choices out there that they might just possibly have chosen the wrong one.

No offense to any Christians, or Jews, or Hindus, or Buddhists, or Muslims, or Taoists, or Jains, or Rastafarian's, or Hare Krishna's, or Scientologists, or Wiccans. You guys are totally correct in your religious choices.  I am referring to those OTHER guys.
