Sure Hope My Neighbours Get One
A couple from Quebec have devoted their retirement years to building and installing seven metre high crosses in the yards of the faithful whereever they may be. Seems a number of neighbours are not so inspired when they see them resulting in several lawsuits and complaints to city bylaw officers. No kidding, imagine trying to sell your house next to a glow-in-the-dark cross. You might as well put in some overhead powerlines while you're at it.
Message to my immediate neighbours ... if you're ever so inclined to have one of these babies installed, I suggest you try the Official God FAQ first. That'll answer all your questions and then maybe you won't need one. I'll "pray" for you.

The Holy Grail is Dishwasher Safe
The TREVLIG sits chalice-like and only $2.50 Canadian, just another product in the IKEA bible. If you worship allen keys and untreated pine then you're already a convert. You may, indeed, have taken the lord's name in vain while trying to decipher assembly instructions in every language but English. The founder of this cult, Ingvar Kamprad , is now estimated to be the richest man in the world.
So how does IKEA compare to Christianity. Well, with thanks to The Guardian's facts on IKEA, there were 130 million copies of the IKEA catalogue distributed last year, more than the bible. 310 million people visited IKEA last year at 186 stores and growing in over 30 countries. In a related story it's estimated that twice as many Britons walk through the door of IKEA on a Sunday than do any church. I think it's safe to say we love to hate IKEA? anddddd, no-one ever really wants to go there on a Sunday. All hail the Billy Bookshelf.

Go on, have a beer
This latest study would indicate that a beer is as good for you as a glass of wine. Any more than 3 though and reverse effects happen ... I'm gonna die! Ain't we all. Then there's the usual Red Wine Study that also indicates health benefits of drinking but they always have to spoil it with the moderation message eh. I'm wondering if they always put that in due to political correctness?
