Where the hell is Matt?

This video was one Matt pointed out as his favourite reponse to his own.

A Christian news website has listed seven methods for Christian mother’s to delay giving birth in an attempt to give birth to the ‘devil’s son’. Here’s how it goes, in case you are a mother in labour right now…

1. Keep your legs crossed until midnight has passed.

“As your demon child willfully pushes and kicks, causing your lady hole to dilate to the size of a drainage pipe, keep your knees locked together at all times. This will give your demanding child a wonderful, early lesson that he can’t always have his way.”

2. You could have got the doctor to induce the birth prior to today.

“The most reliable method to get a mother to go instantly into labor is to jump in front of her when she least expects it and scare the dickens out of her.”

3. If you hit the day, keep the child in a chicken cage guarded by two hogs.

“If one of the hogs starts grinning and snorting, prancing about, or just plain acting full of the Devil’s business by emptying its bowels all over the hospital floor, get it out to a lake and drown it as soon as humanly possible.”

4. Check testicles for signs of the Evil One.

“Creation Scientists have observed that the so-called “taint” (the disagreeable area between the genitals and the anus) is where demons are most likely to post messages for each other.”

5. Put your kid in the care of Creation Scientists for experimentation.

6. Sell your child for Creation Science.

“Our laboratory and research center will pay $18 a pound (17 cents a pound for mixed race infants) for any child under the age of 6-months.”

7. Buy yourself a large Korean wig .

“June 6, 2006 is no time for a pregnant woman to be walking around looking like a young boy, lest she be mistaken for Mia Farrow.”

Sujit Kumar, a 34 year old boy, was tied up to a bed as a child for 22 years because he was considered to be “unmanagable”. From the first year of his life up to eight years old he was forced to live in a chicken coop by his grandfather after both his parents had died. Sujit was completely deprived of human care or interaction.
When he was eventually found, he hopped around the room and pecked at his food from the ground like a chicken. His vocal ability was also influenced by the call of a chicken.

Sujit is now living in a grand old house in New Zealand, surrounded by a primary school type of development programme. He has been undergoing therapy since 2003.

Unfortuantly New Zealand is not for sale, despite somebody in neighboring Australia trying to offload the nation of 4 million to the highest online bidder on eBay.

With a starting offer of just one cent, brisk bidding for the prime chunk of South Pacific real estate quickly boosted the price to 3,000 Australian dollars (US$2,330) before eBay pulled the plug on the auction this week.

“Clearly New Zealand is not for sale,” eBay Australia spokesman Daniel Feiler told the New Zealand Press Association, adding that 22 bids had been made before the company acted.

“It is mostly household items we have for sale, but there are the occasional quirky items put up,” he added. “We have a look at them and if they are OK we leave them, but if it is something that can’t be sold, we take them off.”

The trader has not been named, but apparently was unimpressed with the country he was trying to sell.

The rivalry between the two countries is intense and in his advertisement the man said New Zealand had “very ordinary weather.”
