  1. Let’see, that was one or more dead Canada Geese. Sierra Club otta be notified.
    Can’t have clean, nor bitumen coated ducks killed in an uncontrolled manner, no sir.
    There otta be a law….

  2. Alex: “You pray for me, and I’ll sacrifice a goat for you. I guarantee we get the same result.”
    I guarantee that if you sacrifice a goat, you’ll end up on the floor in zip-ties and your trip will be a disaster. My trip will be just fine. But nice try anyway!

  3. dp:I have nothing against religious people, I just don’t want them flying the plane.
    Well, if they’re from Saudi Arabia, you may have a point. Otherwise, you still have enough time for one more drink before bedtime.

  4. For those who believe in divine intervention, maybe He left His calling card:
    The accident occurred at 3,000 feet, 3 minutes after take-off. The pilot had 3 minutes to land the plane, they hit the water at 3:31 pm and it took 3 1/2 minutes for help to arrive.
    Why does God intervene in some cases and appears not in others? Mystery. But when I see a public miracle, my heart sings.

  5. A few weeks ago, Jon Stewart on the Daily Show made fun of a US Senator who, making an analogy to the Gaza crisis, asked “If people in Vancouver were daily shooting missiles into Seattle, how long would America wait to defend itself?”. Stewart smirks “Canada? Missiles? Wouldn’t they have to stand at the border and throw them?”.
    Well, now he knows! Our stealth geese can strike anywhere, anytime! All our geese are belong to us! .. uh, I mean “All your geese are belong to us!” .. no, I mean “All your planes are belong to our geese!” .. hm, let me get back to you..

    lol
    Numerology strikes again 🙂 I suppose you’ll think it miraculous if you wake up on the 10th of October 2010 at 10:00 am with ten fingers and ten toes, and ten letters in your mailbox. Guess that god guy doesn’t have anything better to do than leave numerical clues for crazy people to dig through.

  7. …dp, just a question, how old and how much flying experience was the person you were referring too?
    Self righteousness isn’t a hallmark of a trusted person, religious or not – I guess some of the Astronauts shouldn’t be trusted either?

  8. …alex, ‘Putting your hands together and talking to your invisible friend doesn’t prevent accidents,”
    You know one thing, I can personally say they do and know I shouldn’t be here. So guess you can call me an invisible friend too then as I’m talking to you direct.
    So, sure, go ahead and mock those who pray, as well as your small g God, but you know what is really neat?
    He will still answer if you cry onto Him.

  9. You people are all sick!!!!! Anyone who has NO compassion for animals and is anti-pet, has something wrong with them. Everyone knows that serial killers start out as animal haters.

  10. “You know one thing, I can personally say they do and know I shouldn’t be here”
    I can personally say that I am Thor, god of thunder and lightning.
    “He will still answer if you cry onto Him.”
    Your invisible friend is going to talk to me? Riiight.
    Hey, wanna know something else that’s really neat? If you’re really really depressed, and wish REALLY REALLY hard, Elvis will come and sing you a song that will make everything better! And then he’ll take you away to his glorious mansion in the sky, where you can eat fried chicken and listen to his music any time you like! Oh, but if you don’t believe that Elvis is still alive, his evil brother Fred will lock you up and make you listen to the Backstreet Boys for all of eternity. So, um, you better believe. But since you’re clearly just misguided, and since I’m so much more moral and humble than you are, I’ll put in a good word for you next time I talk to Elvis. Maybe he’ll decide to spare your soul despite your evil nature and your refusal to believe in him.
    You’re welcome!

  11. “Miracle” or “Luck” is doesn’t really matter – I would say they would have been far more lucky to have made it to their intended destination on time!

    “Everyone knows that serial killers start out as animal haters.”
    Hitler had a dog, so have all American presidents including Obamba.
    Just saying anyway, Ha ha.
    I don’t actually believe serial killers are “animal haters” per say, they more or less have no feelings for the animals and take pleasure in sadistic acts. I don’t think hate comes into the equation much. Animals are simply vulnerable victims until they feel more comfortable taking risk and moving up the food chain.

  13. I am the only true Christian on this post.
    My beliefs may not coincide well with some of your “Christian” believes which are false if they are not the same as mine, but that is the unfortunate truth for you. Our parish minister has said as much.
    Essentially we believe that Christ has already returned to earth for the second time and he now carry’s a sword. He will smite all that do not believe in him and asks us to help smite those who do not worship him in the modern way. He is very angry, even angrier with those that worship him in his first incarnation, as a lamb. Jesus is now a warrior preparing for the end times, and those who will not take up arms for him are doomed to hell. That sounds like you to me.
    So since you do not believe in Christ the way we believe in Christ you will soon parish and I will have your house and belongings. That should not matter much for you because a true Christian will now have those things for which you will no longer need.
    After the end times, we will be the survivors and will make a new world of peace for 1000 years. You will suffer in hellfire for eternity because you are not a true believer only a pretender unlike me.
    Post your home address on this thread so that some “saved ones” from our church can visit you and offer you the opportunity to also be “saved”.
    Especially you Alex – for when you kill a goat you must now face north and use a plastic bag over its head not a knife, because only Islam is foul enough to use a knife. You will be the first to hell for this offence, unless you take the true Christ into your heart.

  14. “Well if it makes you feel better:
    thank you”
    Congrats: you’ve just realized the true nature of religion.
