This Post Was Meant to Be Funnier, But Facts Get In the Way

Corpses that say, 'I'm getting better', not just from a Monty Python film, but also happening in Lebanon.

UPDATE: There's evidence elsewhere (hat tip Roger L. Simon) that the 'evidence' of the animated corpse is incorrect, however, that doesn't change the likelihood that a lot of the images coming from Qana were manipulated and staged for maximum impact. In Islam treating corpses as props is strictly forbidden, a missle strike killing less than two dozen civilians is a tragedy, piling in extra corpses and pulling the same corpse from rubble over and over again, that's reprehensible on a completely different level.

Meanwhile, on the darker side of this apocalypse, someone else points to the 27th of Rajab (August 22nd on our calendar) as a day marked for end-times-ness. (from Drudge)

Better order up the movie below soon, who knows how many more chances you'll get to enjoy watching it (go ahead, splurge on the boxed set version, do you really need savings when the world's about to end?)

(of course, a lot of his followers made the same mistake and wiped out their wealth in anticipation of a rapture, so maybe hold on to some savings, just in case)
