$\"\"$ Nick Norelli may have been spared from a serious accident because he stinks (click through to make sure that I am not just making this up)<\/a>. While I am glad Nick is physically OK, I am not so sure about his theology: I must confess that I am not sure why God would save his life by making him forget to put on deodorant, rather than simply fixing his brakes, if God does those sorts of things.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Thom Stark will have to eat his own shoe<\/a>. Any advice you can give him regarding cooking and condiments to make it more palatable will be appreciated, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n
