[Norma view… Norma view… NORMA VIEW!!!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9_L-2k2zxA) 😛 (I know, missing the “l”)  
I wonder if the energy generated by the Reef shark and [Norma](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Norma_%281981%29)colliding is behind the [Sharknado](http://www.thatsswell.ca/is-sharknado-the-must-see-film-of-the-summer/).

But he did say he’d return soon (a point typically glossed over by Christians, naturally). I just get this image:  
Jesus: “But _Daaaaad!_ I _told_ them I’d be right back over!”

God: “Not until you’re done with dinner! Your mother cooked it herself.”

Jesus: “But it feels like it’s taking _forever!_ How long has it been, anyway?”

God: _\<mumbles\>_ “Just finish and never mind that!”

Oh, if only there was some way to not read threads we don’t like!  
But seriously, I’ve long wanted an “ignore thread” option, as a clutter reduction type thing.

Message from God. Jesus went to a farm in the country. He’s very happy there.

That reminded me of this:

Typical American family holding hands in front of a great feast: “Thanks, Jesus, for this food”

Jesus, in the farm sorting the food used in the feast: “de nada” 😃
