State Sen. Ernie Chambers Sues God

The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of alias, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is omnipresent.

In the lawsuit, Chambers said he's tried to contact God numerous times.

"Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon defendant 'Come out, come out, wherever you are,' has been unable to do so,'" Chambers said.

The suit also requests that the court, given the peculiar circumstances of this case, waive personal service. It said that being omniscient, the plaintiff assumes God will have actual knowledge of the action.

The lawsuit accuses God "of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent." It says God has caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like."

The suit also says God has caused "calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction."

Funny, haha, yes.  Unfortunately the motivation behind the suit is absolutely offensive...

Report on Hindu god Ram withdrawn

The Indian government has withdrawn a controversial report submitted in court earlier this week which questioned the existence of the Hindu god Ram.

The report was withdrawn after huge protests by opposition parties.

The report was presented to the Supreme Court on Wednesday in connection with a case against a proposed shipping canal project between India and Sri Lanka.

Hindu hardliners say the project will destroy what they say is a bridge built by Ram and his army of monkeys.

Scientists and archaeologists say the Ram Setu (Lord Ram's bridge) - or Adam's Bridge as it is sometimes called - is a natural formation of sand and stones.

God debate aside, I'm not sure having monkeys build bridges is a really great idea, quality control-wise...

Ok, that's really quite lovely.  Maybe we should let the monkeys build our bridges...

Question: do we allow them to unionize?

I can't believe you'd even ask such a question.  Of course we need Monkey Unions. It should be a fundamental right.

Will management employ gorilla muscle to keep the working monkey down?

Monkeys show affinity for tough union tactics; Study finds they'll go on strike if treated unfairly

The findings, published in today's issue of the journal Nature, shed light on the evolutionary advantages of cooperation among animals in the wild, said Brosnan, because they suggest that such behavior can make a group of monkeys more closely knit and better able to avoid predators.

Exact, thr purpose of unions is to avoid predators...
