Jesus said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Title: Re: God's submission to the Darwin Awards.

Ah yes, here it is (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6396422/). Title: Re: God's submission to the Darwin Awards. Post by: Engels on June 05, 2006, 09:34:01 AM Hey, maybe god wanted to entertain the bored lions that day instead of saving yet another carbon based organism that was clearly malfunctioning.

Quote Kung fu fan tries to stop train (China Daily) Updated: 2006-06-03 09:06 A 17-year-old boy surnamed Liang almost died when he tried to use a kung fu movement to stop a running train in Laibin Railway Station in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Tuesday, Nanguo Jinbao reported. Liang was pushed to safety by a railway policeman just as he was about to be knocked down. Liang jumped down to the tracks and wanted to use Xianglongshibazhang, a famous kung fu posturing described in many swordsman fictions, to stop the running train. He was taken into custody for breaking railway rules and said he wanted to test whether or not he could use kung fu to stop the train. Liang is a great fan of swordsman fiction and has also learnt martial arts. Title: Re: God's submission to the Darwin Awards.

Knocked down? I think the medical examiner might have taken issue with that characterization of his physical state. Title: Re: God's submission to the Darwin Awards. Post by: Samwise on June 07, 2006, 12:02:56 PM There's a famous story about a Zen student who was given the koan "How do you stop the Tokyo Express while sitting still?" After grappling with the koan for months and arriving at no satisfactory answer, he sat on the train tracks and waited for enlightenment.
