Holy--!!

(Safe for work. And blasted cool.)

"Mediums and spiritualists fear changes to laws regulating the industry could leave them open to malicious civil action by sceptics."

You say "malicious civil action", I say "challenging you to prove your juju isn't fraudulent"...

Yes, hard luck for any hypothetical people who honestly think what they're doing is helping people in some way. Perhaps if any such hypothetical whitelighters had paid greater attention to weeding out the frauds who prey on the grieving, the whole industry—sorry, religion—wouldn't need regulating. Honestly though, I think it's shocking that anything should think it's above regulation because it's Mystick™. If I buy paint thinner, it had better do what it says on the tin. If I buy a ghost interview, likewise.

Truth in advertising, people! Why not bill it as "a bit of a laugh, and I'll cold-read you and may come up with something you construe as meaningful"? Hell, I'd go for that.

Happenings at Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh, Suffolk tend to make any Shuckfan prick up its ears, but unfortunately it's nothing to do with our favourite straunge and terrible Wunder. (Unless he's started emplying hoodies, which is arguably exactly Shuck's style.)

Sniffer dogs on nightclub doors with a very silly and awful illustration, do not say you were not warned of the spanielity.

Finally, your bit of non-newsy wacky religious goodness for the day: Revelation. Being a continuation of my gradual prettification of some of our longer, less-well-illustrated articles. There's some great apocalyptic art out there. Check out the mighty angel with the millstone (which I think is actually supposed to be a stone the size of a millstone according to the version I read, but anyway). And yes, Vespers and 'Tivo, horsies. :)
