Since we've been kicked over here from Heaven, I share my favorite headline of all time. Way back when when Jerry "Governor Moon Beam" Brown was Governator of Calif. he held a much publicized meeting with Richard Alpert, a former professor at Yale (?) who had become some sort of Hindu mystic and was calling himself Baba Ram Das. It's important to remember that Jerry Brown had attended Jesuit schools and had been in a Seminary for a time. He was, as we used to say, "Far Out". Anyway I believe the famous meeting was announced by the Sacramento newspaper as
Zen Jesuit Meets Hindu Jew.

Cometchaser, so Baba Ram is still around. I would have guessed that he had become a junk bond trader, found Jesus, and was living in the Hamptons. I remember he was vigorously lampooned in the old National Lampoon with a "column" penned by BaBa au Rhum. What's he doing?

My all time favourite was when Hurrican Katrina hit. You know when TV stations run current headlines at the bottom of the picture? Well I was watching one station (I think it was CNN though why I was watching that in the UK I'm not quite sure so it may have been Sky or possibly the Beeb) and the running news update said:
Bush: Biggest Disaster to Hit America
I think someone in the newsroom had a sense of humour.

But why did Martin Luther risk execution to go to the Diet, what was at stake for the big players of medieval Europe and how did events at the Diet of Worms irrevocably change the history of Europe?
