Christian Cult Predicts End of the World Next Month!

Self-proclaimed prophets are nothing new, and the sheeple who follow them never cease to amaze me.
From Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, and Baha’ullah to Joseph Smith, L. Ron Hubbard, Jim Jones, David Koresh, and Allen Harrod—these guys are a dime a dozen.
And now we can add Pyotr Kuznetsov to the list: a 43-year-old Russian engineer who left [...]

Funeral Home Scandal: Kitty Litter Substituted for Deceased’s Ashes!

I read today, in the Globe and Mail, that a former funeral director from British Columbia, Canada is facing charges in a “cremation controversy.”
