But shure wasn't Jesus the original proxy server. No-one can access the lord's salvation sites except through me.

With the advent of NAT, lots of rogue users got access.

That Australian Jesus should go to Venezuela - the church has run out of wine!

Venezuelan churches ration wine as supply dries up

With no miracle in sight, Roman Catholic churches are being asked to ration wine in the latest shortage to illustrate Venezuela’s economic troubles. A shortage of wheat flour has also hit production of the bread used for communion, church leaders say. “We’re asking the priests and bishops to ration wine and look for alternatives during this emergency,” said Jose Antonio Da Conceicao, a national church official.

Church leaders say the problem arose when the local supplier of the specialty sacramental wine used at Mass had a bad harvest. They turned to importers, but the companies told them it was impossible to obtain dollars to bring the wine into the country because of Venezuela’s strict currency controls. That has been a common complaint of private businesses against Venezuela’s socialist government under late president Hugo Chavez and his successor, Nicolas Maduro.

Basic products, from dairy products to wheat flour and diapers to toilet paper, have been increasingly hard to find in Venezuela, causing long queues and even scuffles in shops. Mr Maduro says right-wing opponents and unscrupulous businessmen are trying to sabotage the economy and his new administration by hoarding products. He has chastised Venezuelans for unnecessary “panic-buying” and met with business leaders to seek solutions amid widespread mockery over the shortage of toilet paper.

Meanwhile, the local Catholic Church has given priests permission to use different types of wine for communion. “In extreme necessity ... they can provisionally use Chilean or Argentine wines of good quality - French, Spanish and Italian too, but they are very expensive,” said an internal church memo.

The biggest central part is his goat-like face. The largest loop of the bridge on top are his horns.

I bet it was old nick who killed that builder, for trying to pass off such a shoddy likeness.:mad:
Also that's quite a still reflection for a "wild and turbulent" river. Fecking bulgarians, always exagerating!

The thing that is confusing me is why did the bridge need a secret technique to be built? Could it not just be built with regular techniques.

Frank from Donnie Darko by any chance? That's all I see.

What the frak was wrong with those Bulgarians "Oh, it's a bit rough, we can't build a bridge. Boo hoo hoo" The Incas were apparently crossing one just like this hundreds of years ago. That's a 220' drop, that is.

The Wikipedia article on Devil's bridges is interesting.
"Devil’s Bridge is a term applied to dozens of ancient bridges, found primarily in Europe. Most of these bridges are stone or masonry arch bridges and represent a significant technological achievement. Each of the Devil's Bridges has a corresponding Devil-related myth or folktale."

"The bridges that fall into the Devil's Bridge category are so numerous that the legends about them form a special category in the Aarne-Thompson classification system for folktales"

Why don't they say mass for fine weather in winter?

Hint: There is a better chance of fine weather happening in the summer, which will be credited to the mass.
