Strange, indeed. It reminds me of taking nitrous oxide when I had my

Life is sacred? Who said so, God? Hey, if you read history you'll 
realize that God is one of the leading causes of death, has been for 
thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, all taking turns 
killing each other because God told them it was a good idea. - George
