Maybe sacrificing a goat will help?

Oh dear. 

Just watch this - Georgia governor Sonny Perdue praying for rain on the steps of the capitol in Atlanta, trying to end the drought.

Yeah, that's going to work.

Last time I checked - still no rain in Georgia.

Rewind back a few thousand years ago, and the Maya and Native Americans were pretty much doing similar kinds of rain dances, but they seemed to think sacrifices helped too. Look how far we've come. 

Sacrifices are silly.

D'Oh!

I'm an equal opportunity offender when it comes to religion, so this image made me laugh when I came across it on the Net:


Apparently, some enterprising souls decided that the Giant of Cerne Abbas needed a friend. And look - he brought donuts!

This time, it's the pagans who are up in arms about the "desecration" of their "sacred" site, a site, the evidence shows, that was probably created in the 17th century. The pagans have pledged to perform rain magic to wash the figure away. Coincidentally, this is the wettest summer on record in Britain.

Bill Hicks on Religion

Wonder what Bill would have made of the current administration? It's a pity he's gone. Much of his comedy is still relevant (even more so!) today.
