United States: a pastor at a Waco, Texas, church has been electrocuted during a baptism. The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, grabbed a microphone while stood shoulder deep in water.
Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone during baptisms, [church business administrator Jamie] Dudley said.
He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear,Dudley said.It's the only way you can be loud enough.
See what can happen if you neglect basic science education?

This is the only post I've read today that has recognized the basic fact that water and electricity don't mix!

I have to wonder if this means there'll be a huge upswing in stupid deaths in Kansas once the loons excise science from the education system.

Mark: this story was posted to the Darwin list at almost exactly the same time as I posted this here. It will come as no surprise to hear that the non-mixing of water and electricity was mentioned there.

Connie: if you are using Windows, the problem is at your end.
Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.
Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
