And now for something completely different... a church in Naples, Italy has been saving some blood from a 5th Century martyr in a vial. By now, the blood has turned to dust. However, twice every year, the blood reliquifies. The dates are September 19 which is Saint's Feast Day and the first Saturday in May. If the blood dust does not reliquify, the residents fear major disaster. Talk about superstitious. But, it seems to be true. The last time that it didn't reliquify, an earthquake hit southern Italy killing 3000 people. Well, it did liquify. Thank God. Scientists have proven that the dust is in fact blood but cannot explain how or why it reliquifies. Told you it was different.

For some unfortunate reason, so-called "Reality TV" has been taking over the airwaves. Shows like Survivor (which dominated the ratings), Big Brother (which is not dominating them), and others have been popping up like weeds. Damn MTV for starting this...
