Guess he hadn't enough faith after all.

Guess he hadn't enough faith after all.

I think it's funny, but feel bad at the same time because someone had to learn the hard way and die.

 

[EL]

He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head...

I would have been slightly suspicious here...

Me too.

It's amazing how deep people are into religion.

 

[Astronuc]

Very sad that someone would do this.

On the other hand - he probably gets the Darwin Award for 2006. :uhh:

This is not a reliable news source. For a long time they reported on the alien base located at the bottom of the ocean - a fact according to this news source.

 

[Kurdt]

Sad to hear of someone dying but when you see the manner in which they have the mind boggles at how people can have such strong faith in something that is clearly impossible (unless you freeze the water first or run very fast).

or Mermaids.

or Mermaids.

Which makes one wonder if ET abducts mermaids.

Question. Do ETs get abducted by other ETs?

Question. Do ETs get abducted by other ETs?

Only if they can figure out where the probe goes...

 

[shmoe]

I have my doubts this is real.

I would be very amazed at the discipline and/or faith needed to keep walking and fight off basic survival instincts.

You ruined all the fun now.

Thanks for letting me know now. You never know when people will back up their silly arguments with that website.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Weekly World News (supermarket tabloid)?
WorldNetDaily is just a conservative leaning news organization.

I'm pretty sure I'd realize I wasn't actually walking on water when my armpits got wet. Or maybe he thought he was walking down stairs on water.

Maybe he has very sweaty armpits and couldn't tell the difference.

Can you find a single other source reporting this news?

"Leaning"? This source is pegged to the right wall.

 

[tribdog]

and that wall is leaning so much it's a floor

Uh oh, maybe... but the part about walking into the water while drowning sounds like nonsense.

Extreme right; tabloid; is there a difference?

 

[Astronuc]

and the floor is the biggest shelf in the house.

 

[Evo]

There don't appear to be any actual news sources for the story. Glad to see that most of the tabloids like Free Republic that is often cited in P&WA carried the story.

I think I would have caught on about 2.5 ft before that! Not clear how and why he didn't bob up. Unless you are wearing lead shoes people just don't sink that easy. Sounds suspicious to me.
