Praise Him Til Your Wig Falls Off

May 09, 2008

by Deputy Diva 

Okay, it’s Friday and the weather where I am is causing me to ’slump’ a little.   Since we haven’t shared a good laugh in a while, I decided to share this funny video I came across.

It’s not so much that the woman’s wig falls off while she is ‘gettin her praise on’, but the Pastor’s expression, or really lack thereof, is what really cracked me up.

Check this video out.

Naomi Campbell Going Bald?

April 26, 2008

If there is anything more pathetic than a witch, it’s a bald witch. Is the mean, mean, fighting machine, Naomi Campbell going bald? You tell me! 

Model Naomi Campbell is well known for her ever-changing explosive moods. But it’s her changing hairline that is currently causing a stir.

Naomi attended the opening of night of La Fille Du Regiment at the Metropolitan Opera in New York last night looking her usual high-maintenance self.

And although she dressed the part her hair extensions revealed a wide parting, and what looked like some hair loss.

On closer inspection the model’s natural hairline appears to disappeared, with her hair extensions - or weave as it’s more commonly known - starting quite some way back from where the hairline should be.

Naomi’s appearance is all the more surprising, as only six weeks ago she was seen in Brazil, with her hairline intact.

Could it be that years of wearing the tight hair extensions have taken it’s toll on the model’s own hair, causing some breakage?

According to hairfinder.com, ‘traction alopecia’ is the name of the type of hair loss associated with hair braiding, weaving, and the wearing of hair extensions.

Thanks for tip, Evangelist ET

Indian Witch Gets devil Beat out of her!

March 28, 2008

It’s been serious around here lately. Time to loosen up a bit. Check this out:

An Indian woman accused of being a witch was tied to a tree and beaten by a mob, with television footage of the incident aired in India on Friday.

Villagers tied the woman to a tree after a man accused her of practicing black magic.

STOP! Pause right there! Do you remember as a child your mother or grandma telling you, “You had better behave or I’m gonna beat the devil out of you!”

Looks like granny was on to something and the folks in India caught on! This pathetic chick was out trying to fly a broom, as opposed to picking up a broom and perhaps doing something constructive like cleaning up her house—and the good folks of her village decided to catch homegirl in the act and to beat the devil out of her. Good for them!

Nishant Tiwari, a police official in northeastern India, said a journalist who filmed the beating called him Thursday to report the incident, which took place in the village of Dumaria in central eastern Bihar state.

He arrived to find the woman tied to a tree, her hair partially cut and her complexion ruddy from being slapped. She had no serious injuries.

“I was appalled at what I saw because people should be more socially responsible than to do this,” Tiwari said.

Oh, Tiwari, STOP being such a party pooper, dude. Lighten up. Besides, you know that secretly you found it funny.

Authorities arrested six people, including the man who admitted to hiring her services as a witch. They were due to appear before a magistrate on Friday.

Ram Ayodhya, who could face up to seven years in prison for his role in the attack, told police he was justified in beating the woman, Tiwari said.

Ayodhya said he paid her to use magic and prayer to improve his wife’s health.

When his wife’s condition deteriorated, Ayodhya accused her of performing black magic, Tiwari said, and a crowd soon gathered and tied her to the tree.

The woman seen being attacked is expected to testify when the suspects appear before the magistrate.

Laughter is Fine Medicine, Good for the Soul

March 03, 2008

Prov. 3:12: I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.”

Prov: 17:22: A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.

There is a scripture in the Bible that says, A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

God, that’s true! Laughter heals for real. Are you depressed? Start laughing. Go into a room all by yourself and put on the funniest movie you can find to get you started. Engage in some laughter therapy. Heal yourself.

Are you in pain? Laugh about it.     

Don’t believe the scriptures are true? Then check out this article below:

The guests at a Manhattan hotel must have thought they had checked into a madhouse. It was 1964, and day and night they could hear a man laughing uproariously. Weirder still, he seemed to be on some kind of schedule. What could be so funny? Nothing perhaps. Fifty-year-old Norman Cousins was laughing to save his life.

Cousins, the respected editor of the Saturday Review, had been given six months to live. He’d been diagnosed suddenly with life-threatening ankylosing spondylitis, a painful, degenerative disease of the spine. Cousins, who was in constant agony and quickly succumbing to paralysis, checked himself out of the hospital, which in his view “was no place for sick people” and into a hotel where under the supervision of a doctor, he began taking extremely high doses of Vitamin C punctuated by a regimen of intense belly laughter.

Why laughter? It was the only thing that seemed to kill the pain. Cousins would start laughing by watching Marx Brothers movies and Candid Camera episodes on a rented projector. After several months, and day after day of laughter, Cousins walked out of the hotel. In the years since then, Vitamin C would be discredited, but laughter, it turns out, is another story.

Cousins’s “laughing cure” was greeted by the medical establishment with derision. How stupid. A man curing a life-threatening disease with laughter. Cousins even wrote a book about his experience, Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient. Although the book helped launch the holistic health movement, decades would pass before medical researchers reopened the curious case of the Laughing Man.

In 1995, in Bombay, now Mumbai, a young gastroenterologist would come across Cousins’s story in a medical journal. Dr. Madan Kataria - a dour and, in his own words, humourless professional - was used to fishing around in people’s guts for a living. But when he read about Cousins he decided to do something crazy.

At 7 the next morning, he went to a local park and was able to gather a few people for what he called a “laughter club.” The small group grew quickly. Each day they would tell each other jokes to try and produce laughter as a health routine. But a few days in, a sad thing happened. People were running out of jokes, and instead were offending each other with off-colour and sexist humour. Kataria’s experiment was, in his words, a bit of a “flop.”

That night Kataria had an epiphany. The people at the laughter club were fixated on a reason to laugh, a joke, a story, a comical event. What if he removed the reason?

The next day, Kataria gathered the now miserable group, and told them they didn’t need a reason to laugh. According to Kataria, some of them burst out laughing. Kataria learned that you could gather a group of people together, tell them to laugh and they could just start laughing. If someone hesitated, he would say: “Fake it.”

While the laughing was initially forced or “acted,” it would almost seem to build magically into the real thing. Laughter is naturally contagious and by simply laughing, people were “fooling” their own bodies into laughing along. And soon the whole group would be laughing madly. Kataria’s discovery of managed, contagious laughter - a new form of laughter - marked the creation of Laughter Yoga, an awkward-sounding health craze that has now spread to 40 countries and counting.

If Your Child Misbehaves, Chain Him/Her to a Bed…?

February 26, 2008

An Australian “mum” found an inventive way to stop her daughter from hanging with the wrong crowd. She chained her to the bed:

Police said they went to the Prospect house on Monday, February 18, at 5am, after receiving a call from the girl’s mother, asking for police assistance to remove a group of people from her front yard.

Acting officer-in-charge of the Holden Hill LSA, Chief Inspector Ian McDonald, said the woman allegedly told police the girl was chained in the house.

She told police the undesirable group of people were there to see her daughter,’ he said.

Police charged the woman with false imprisonment, she was subsequently bailed and is expected to front Holden Hill Magistrates’ Court next month.

Shlomo Benizri of Israel Believes Homosexuality Causes Earthquakes

February 22, 2008
During a committee hearing on disaster preparedness, Benizri, a member of the Shas Party, reportedly urged lawmakers to “stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes.”

PAUSE! I think I’ll go back and re-read that line. Homosexuality may cause some problems, but earthquakes is not one of them, at least not to my knowledge.

Benizri was referring in part to a decision last week by Israel’s attorney general granting adoption rights to same sex couples. Israel which decriminalized homosexuality in 1988, experienced at least two tremors measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale last week.

God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up,” Benizri reportedly explained to the parliamentary committee on disaster preparedness.

LOL! Oh, my goodness!
