St Paul’s Church in Grangetown, Cardiff, Wales, is planning a Doctor Who-themed service at the church Sept. 23. It seems the church was used as a location for an episode in the first season of the latest incarnation of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who. The show is about a Time Lord from the planet Galafrey. The church was also pictured in a Doctor Who calendar.
One of the organisers, Father Dean Atkins, said as a saver of the world, Doctor Who is "almost a Messiah figure." "We couldn't resist doing something for young people on a Doctor Who theme," added parish priest Father Ben Andrews.
[You should have resisted temptation a little harder, reverend. This idea would have been Dalek-tible 30 years ago. Timing is everything.]
• Fly the pretty creepy skies
Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft. Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport. The offering was made to Akash Bhairab, the Hindu god of sky protection, whose symbol is seen on the company's planes.
[Again, they got this wrong. For a technical problem, the proper response is to sacrifice a technician.]
• Week's Worst Jesus Junk
The Golfer's Bible links "one of today's most popular sports with the most popular book the world has ever known." And don't forget to use the "Jesus is Lord" ball marker or alternately the "I Am God's Plan" marker to spread the word out on the green.
[Others prefer the "What Would Tiger Woods Do?" titanium executive putter polisher.]

Golfer's Bible!?!? Yes, I'm sure that's what the good Lord had in mind. Surprised Moses didn't come up with it.
Still, it's probably better than the LaHaye (& Jenkins?) prophecy Bible. If in some God-forsaken world I had to choose between the two.

Skippy,
All things old are new again -- the new Doctor Who is back on the BBC and is better than ever (well, that's what I think, anyway, as a long-ago fan)...
