"I told God, if he's going to save me from death from this and he doesn't send me a boyfriend, I'm going to call a party foul." - Portland resident Tom Comstock, after pieces of lumber speared the cabin of his SUV when he was rear-ended during rush hour traffic. Emergency room doctors gave him a tetanus shot and told him to go buy a lottery ticket. KATU-TV has video and more photos at the link. (Tipped by JMG reader Bobby)

What the Buddha Never Said
When
the Buddha speaks, it is said, he always intends his words to lead to
the welfare and happiness of the hearers. But his words are not always
tied to the theme of “suffering and its cessation.” To insist on
confining them to this topic is to drastically narrow the range of the
dharma.
