		<description>Those fine ladies have discovered the holy grail of prayers, and they&#039;re here to share it with the DI.  It&#039;s the prayer that gets answered EVERY TIME...  The prayer for one&#039;s prayers to be IGNORED.  (Whoever said miracles couldn&#039;t happen?)</description>

		<description>It could be that these are Skepti-Chick ninjas in waiting.
This is kinda like the &quot;Crane Kick&quot; position, from the Karate Kid, but from the kneeling position. 
They have flanked the exit point, and crouch in waiting...waiting for a fool to exit. 
Then they will strike. 

&lt;em&gt;See what I did there? It&#039;s glass.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Were winners for the last contest ever announced? The one about perfume…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Rose -- I was looking at the entries from last time, and frankly, most of them either didn&#039;t make sense to me or just didn&#039;t make me laugh... so I figured we&#039;d start fresh with a new contest.  I&#039;m enjoying these entries a lot more :)

		<description>Sheesh!  It&#039;s so obvious.

  Due to an overabundance of Thetans, their bodies swelled just enough for their Mormon Temple Underpants, (don&#039;t ask why - their lingerie is their own business), to cut off the circulation to their legs, thus dropping them to their knees.  Knowing that they must restore blood-flow to their lower extremeties, they began a Buddhist clapping exercise designed to raise the heart-rate.  At that precise moment, a wandering Quaker photo-essayist, working for a well-known TV medium, wandered by and snapped their pic for the medium&#039;s brochure to put above a fictitious quote thanking him for reuniting someone with their long-dead ancestor.

  Being in front of the DI was just weird luck.</description>

		<description>Praying? 

These two godknockers wouldn&#039;t know a prayer if one crawled in bed with them.

Check the red tennies if you don&#039;t think she&#039;s a wackaloon.</description>

		<description>They&#039;re just following in the footsteps of the late, great George Carlin and praying that Joe Pesci takes care of Luskin the same way he took care of George&#039;s neighbor:

&lt;blockquote&gt;For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. It&#039;s amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe you didn&#039;t see the obvious.

They have just finished visiting the museum and its message was so logical and sensible that they have been converted. They are now right wing evangelicals.

They are praying for forgiveness for their sinful pasts when they thought for themselves.

Damn uppity women, should have known better from the start.</description>

		<description>Too horrifying to think that they are praying... begging?  How about no public restrooms in sight and after a couple of beers we really,  really, need to pee? I could believe that.</description>

		<description>re praying/preying:

They heard something about atheists preying on Christians, how it would lead to Godless Darwinism, and figured it was worth a shot.  Meanwhile, a control group stayed at home and instead wrote humorous comments about the Institute on blogs.

(Of course, I do realize that this hypothetical experimental setup would have some obvious flaws.)</description>
