snake bite!

I didn't see that one coming.




quote:

Jamie Coots, a Kentucky pastor who starred on National Geographic Channel's Snake Salvation — a reality show about Pentecostal preachers who handle serpents as part of their services — died Saturday after being bitten by one of the snakes, Kentucky's WBIR reports.

Coots was found dead in his home around 10 p.m. Saturday, after being bitten in his church earlier in the day, police told the local TV station. He had left the church before emergency workers arrived and refused medical attention for the wound.

Nearly a year ago, Coots pled guilty to violating exotic animals laws and was ordered to give up his vipers.

A spokesman for National Geographic told Fox News that the network had no plans to film another season, but planned to air a special about Coots.

One less snake-wrangling Bible-thumper in the world. What's not to love?

quote:

A man was sitting on his front porch when it started to rain. The rain came down harder and harder and the man realized that it was a flood. So the flood waters were rising and when the water started to spill over the porch, a man in a rowboat comes by. And the man in the rowboat says, "Need any help?"

But the man said, "Nope, the Lord'll take care of me!" A few hours later, the man was standing on a chair on his front porch and another rowboat comes by.

And the man yells, "Need any help?"

But the man smiles and says, "Nope, the Lord'll take care of me!"

A few hours later, the waters continue to rise. The man is now on his roof and a helicopter comes by. The pilot yells, "Need any help?!"

But the man just says, "Nope! The Lord'll take care of me!"

A few hours later, the flood gets to be too much for the man and he drowns. When he enters Heaven, he asks the Lord, "Lord, why didn't you take care of me?"

The Lord says, " I sent you two rowboats and a helicopter!"
