117 Russians in hospital after drinking Holy Water!


Behold the miracle!

MOSCOW – More than 100 Russian Orthodox believers have been hospitalized after drinking holy water during Epiphany celebrations in the eastern city of Irkutsk, an official said Monday.

A total of 117 people, including 48 children, were in the hospital complaining of acute intestinal pain after drinking water from wells in and around a local church last week, said Vladimir Salovarov, a spokesman for the Irkutsk Investigative Committee.

Salovarov said 204 people required some medical treatment after consuming the water, the source of which was a stagnant lake. He said, however, that it was too early to say what caused the illness.

Many Russians consider any water obtained on Epiphany — which they celebrate on Jan. 19 — to be holy.

The water is typically bottled for consumption later. Tap water in most of Russia is undrinkable.



As I said, beliveing in an invisible man is harmful to your health!

Coffee can intoxicate you!


A study by The University of Massachusetts published today indicated that more than 4,000 people last year became intoxicated by drinking too much coffee or caffeinated drinks like Red Bull, Jolt or Mountain Dew. The study cites that the Center for Poison Control received more that 4,000 calls, most of them from people under the age of 19. Symptoms of coffee intoxication includes headaches, upset stomach and vomiting. It is unknown how much caffeine you have to consume in order to be intoxicated, as each person develops a different tolerance to the substance.

Hey! Forget Miller time. It's Yaucono time!!!!!
Next, instead of a cop pulling you over for DUI it will be DUC (Driving Under Caffeine)!
This gives the 3'OClock coffee break a whole new meaning!
