    Gotta love the ironing....

    "A woman returned home to a house full of smoke after a crystal ball set fire to her lounge.

    Firefighters said the crystal ball on the windowsill had refracted sunlight on to the curtains, starting the blaze. The woman returned to her home in Poole, Dorset, at 1400 BST to discover the fire."


    :D

    That reminds me of the story. A telephone psychic hotline spontaneously went bankrupt and had to let all of its employees go. You think one of them would have seen it coming

    The ball, but I suppose having a tool of the devil makes you a tool of the devil.

    Only christians fear the devil, as the devil was created to make people worship god. F**ked up, but it works.

    damn it... now i'm all paranoid about my apartment being in cinders when I get home.... and the window is east facing

    It looks pretty much like one of these

    EDIT: Actually it looks exactly like this one (i.e. the largest one). Scatters some nice rainbows across the bedroom in the morning.

    God does answer every ones questions it's just that people don't understand he's ways. If there's silence you can take it for granted that's a no.

    The greatest feet the devil ever pulled off was convincing people he doesn't exist. The exact opposite is true of God.

    Maybe (hopefully) she wasn't a fortune-teller, maybe she's a contact juggler?
