It's still done, but VERY VERY rarely in the Catholic church. Not sure about other churches. Our pastor said that about 7 a year are done world wide. Other religions may be more liberal about the ritual.

Sister Eucharist: I need to talk with you, Dr. House. Sister Augustine believes in things that aren't real.
Dr. House: I thought that was a job requirement for you people.

You explain to us the Bermuda Triangle, and I'll explain this K?

Surely you believe the Bermuda Triangle is real...

LOL...

1. Get a crappy microphone.
2. Get a guy who likes to "massage" the microphone a lot.
3. Get a few guys to chant monotone passages.
4. Get a chick with a deep voice (plenty in Russia, I'd imagine) to scream and curse.
5. Encode in the crappiest bitrate ever.
6. ...
7. Profit!

My point is, you all believe in the Bermuda Triangle. If you don't, you are an idiot.

It is clearly there, and obviously real. You can go there if you wanted.

Now, you believe that it is very real, yet there are no explanations for it.

So, that leaves you a couple options, you don't believe it exists, or you do but don't believe the phenomenon surrounding it.

You do believe in it, something you cannot prove or verify/validate it's existance or give proof as to the reason of occurances behind it.

So that would make you either a hypocrite or an idiot.

There is no such thing as a Bramuda Triangle.

But, there is the Bermuda Triangle. Tangible evidence that is exists?

ummm, This is going to be tough... You can drive a fvcking boat through it?

I see you've opted for the idiot option.

Actually, there are explanations for the bermuda triangle. One theory is that methane gas pockets rise up from the ocean floor in huge bubbles that are big enough to sink ships and interfere with airplane instruments. It has actually been tested in a lab.

Kthxbye

marked for later.

SWScorch who are you kidding, if there was a video you'd say you'd have to be there in person to believe it. ;)

EDIT: can anyone understand what they're saying?

i dont speak russian, lol

sounds pretty freaky though

Apparently, those screams at the end of the recording translate into:

"I AM NOT LEAVING HER! I AM NOT"

And if YOU find me a girl that can speak like that, then I'll show you a girl that has an adam's apple.
