Texas preacher killed by baptism
A pastor was electrocuted during a baptism in Waco, Texas, after grabbing a microphone while partially submerged.
Rev Kyle Lake, 33, was standing in a small pool used for baptisms at the University Baptist Church when he was electrocuted on Sunday morning.
Rev Lake reached out to adjust a nearby microphone, which produced an electric shock, said church pastor Ben Dudley.
Rev Lake, who had a wife and three children, had been at the church for nine years.
Confusion
He was taken by ambulance to a local medical centre where he was pronounced dead.
The woman being baptised apparently had not stepped into the water, Mr Dudley told the Waco Tribune-Herald. She was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but was not seriously injured, he said.
"At first, there was definitely confusion just because everyone was trying to figure out what was going on," Mr Dudley said. "Everyone just immediately started praying."
At a remembrance attended by about 1,000 people on Sunday night, Mr Dudley said the congregation would move forward as a church.
"I don't know how, when, why, where or what's going to happen, but we will continue as a church in the community because that is what Kyle would have wanted," he said.

Not by me. Just another proof for Darwinism. Unless they really want to make that the case for Intelligent Design.
Seriously, people -- you know the warnings on hair dryers and toasters? GO FOR ANYTHING ELECTRIC.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Daniel!
Happy halloween, all. I am out of candy. We bought two bags of candy, not knowing how many trick-or-treaters we'd get.(We got very few at the condo, and this is our first Halloween here) Had I known how many would show up, I'd have been less generous in the beginning. The cutest costume by far was a toddler dressed as a monkey. So cute!
Woo! I just got about twelve kids in two groups. I've lost track of costumes, but there was one very stylin' purple hat. And they all said trick-or-treat. There were two Jasons. I wonder if they were the same kid?
I'm now eating soup to counteract the chocolate. Because it does work that way.

It certainly makes the case for Unintelligent Design.
Dear Low Twentysomething Who Works In The Microbiology Lab Down The Hall:
Listen, could you wear your low-rider jeans a little lower? While we can see your back tattoo, your dental floss underwear, and most of your buttcrack, we can't actually see your anus. That is why you're wearing them so low in the first place, right? To show the world your anus? Or am I confusing you with an astronomy lab worker's uniform?
Thanks much.

DX has good candy.
I have some tootsie rolls, but they are all for me. I've never had a single trick or treater here.
