Daring God to show His face will result in certain death!

Today's Godless Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure. "The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," a zoo official said. "A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down, and severed his carotid artery." The incident, on Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.

Follow-Up Du Jour!

Carolyn sent a link to a "Moments in History" PSA that aired in Canada regarding the Halifax explosion (which was the feature of the February 20 MFDJ). The actors aren't about to win any Academy Awards, but it's still worth a watch.

Epitaph Du Jour!

Culled from:
Over Their Dead Bodies: Yankee Epitaphs & History
Authors: Thomas C. Mann & Janet Greene
Date: 1962

Mrs. Sarah Newcomb, 1796, age 39, Keene, N.H.:
How loved, how valued once avails thee not
To whom related or by whom begot;
A heap of dust alone remains of thee
'Tis all thou are, and what we all must be.

Thanks to Miyuki for the contribution.

Wretched Recommendations!

Sandy has a movie recommendation:

Citizen X (1995)

"It is really good and really creepy. Personally, I think they cast the killer wrong though. Because Andre Chikatilo was one of those really CREEPY-looking guys and they cast a non-creepy guy. Do you remember seeing the photos of him in the cage he sat in for trial? He looked positively scary / creepy / insane. When you look up 'stranger danger,' he is the picture next to the phrase. I also highly recommend it - it's great!"
