amazing discoveries in cyberspace

so.. i just discovered that Phases, the magazine published by scripture union that i used to read year an year ago has been revived and is now in cyberspace! yea.. so i popped on over.. and it was awesome! it feels to good to read something that's actually contemparary and non-trashy and edifying as well! and yea.. so i came to this page and i dicovered this gem.. ship-of-fools.com

they had this section where people who sign up as mystery worshippers would go around churches worldwide and give feedback on their services etc. among the churches they visited were paradise community church in sa, trinity methodist in pj and even a church in bethlehem..
here was one i found interesting

Cross Island Chapel, Oneida, New York, USA.


this church is said to be the world's smallest. it's 51"x81", and has 4 seats and a pulpit, talk about close fellowship! and its only accessible by boat! now that's something u don't hear of every other day!

and then there was also this section entitled gadgets for God. hadn't had much time to browse through, but i had a look at the newly discovered merchandise. the hilariousness is not so much in the absurdity of the product, but the product description (in italics) that comes along with it and these are my favourites:


iBelieve Lanyard

At last – your iPod Shuffle can now be born again! Simply remove your existing, non-believing Shuffle cap and snap in place the t-shaped iBelieve cap, and lo! your Shuffle is instantly transformed into a giant, white cross. Sanctify that Shuffle for just $12.95! Ideal for listening to Black Sabbath tracks during church services.


now doesn't that want to go out an get one to convert your sinful, unbelieving iPod Shuffles?? :P

Wait Wear

Teens everywhere just love Wait Wear. Once they've decided they want to save themselves for marriage, they buy some suitably chaste undies from Wait Wear which proudly proclaim: "No Vows No Sex", or "I'm Saving It!", or "Traffic Control: Wait for Marriage". Then, when their boyfriend or girlfriend asks why they're all reluctant, they can simply unzip their jeans and let their underwear do the talking.
May we humbly suggest a new slogan for their passion-free panties? "If You're Reading This, I've Changed My Mind About That Abstinence Thing."


the description says it all. now wouldn't these underwear be heaps of help...

Talking Jesus Action Figure

Herobuilders.com of Connecticut, USA, have announced the addition of a new hero to their ranks of action dolls – "the ONLY real hero," in fact. Standing fully 12" tall, the Jesus Christ Action Figure comes with an optional microchip, which enables him to declaim the 10 Commandments in the sort of American accent you hear on the movie trailers.

Now Jesus can stand proud alongside the other heroes celebrated by herobuilders.com. There's the heroic George Bush Action Figure for example. And the "Talking British Ally" doll, bearing the familiar features of Tony Blair. Yes indeed. Jesus has at last joined the War on Terror, on the side of the good guys.



hmm.. controversial.. but all in the name of good humour..

so.. anyone of u got some brilliant gift ideas for christmas this year??
