I just got these story via e-mail:
WITH GREAT PASSION: "According to the officers on the scene, she told
them she was attempting to reenact a scene from the movie," said New
Britain, Conn, police spokesman Sgt. Darren Pearson. The movie: "The
Passion of the Christ". The unnamed woman, married and in her 40s,
purposefully drove her Chevrolet Lumina into a pond at a city park in
order to baptize herself, officers said. She was taken to a hospital
for
a mental evaluation. (New Britain Herald) ...Who will ever be able to
forget the moving scene when Jesus drives his Chevy into the baptismal
pool?
LOST HIS PASSION: A man in Somerset County, Vt., apparently intent on
suicide, built a cross in his livingroom and attempted to crucify
himself
by nailing one of his hands to one side with a 14-penny nail. The
unnamed
23-year-old then had a logistical problem. "When he realized that he
was
unable to nail his other hand to the board, he called 911," said
Sheriff
Barry DeLong, who noted it was unclear whether the man wanted help
getting free, or help in nailing his free hand. (Bangor Daily News)
...Which gives new meaning to the police slang, "We nailed the
suspect."
