Today’s article will be guest written by one of the original 12 Olympians Hephaestus “the blacksmith”.
Hermes brings me news of a new Olympiad. An Olympiad of snow and ice! What a brilliant idea oh mere mortals, this does please me. During my exile from Mount Olympus I myself forged blades of steel out of blocks of metal and strapped them to my feet to glide across the frozen ponds of Lemnos.
I admit it had been some time since I had witnessed an athletic event of such proportion and you small humans have certainly expanded the Olympic format. There is nothing at all wrong with that of course… I see how you roll.
It didn’t take me long to find interest in these new games. The first event I tuned into (I need to thank Apollo for the DVR) was the mens Biathlon… wow! Racing on ski’s, carrying and shooting a high powered rifle?? Not even Zeus himself could have imagined such an awesome combination of elements within a single sport. [click to continue…]

Hmmm... this sheds some light on the whole lack of church attendance thing.
ALCOA, Tenn. – The son of a well-known Alcoa pastor has taken out an order of protection against his father, claiming he was threatened with a gun during an argument at a church over his lack of church attendance. The order of protection was filed by 32-year-old Michael Louis Colquitt against 60-year-old Joe Colquitt, pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church.
The younger man told police his father pulled out a handgun when they met at the church to discuss church attendance. He told officers his father pointed the gun at him and threatened to kill him, his wife and family.
Joe Colquitt declined to comment when contacted by The Daily Times of Maryville.
A Feb. 4 hearing was set in Blount County General Sessions Court.

A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.
Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf’s snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.
“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.
The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep. [click to continue…]
I’m sorry but I gotta vent…
