When your number's up, it's up! *

The Daily Telegraph (UK) reports that a Vienna man who prayed for deliverance when he was trapped in an elevator had his prayers answered, and was extricated safe and sound. Naturally, he went to a nearby church to thank God. Not so naturally, he was killed instantly when a stone altar fell on him. “He seems to have embraced a stone pillar on which the stone altar was perched and it fell on him,” a police spokesman said.

* Walt is aware that "When your number's up, it's up" is not good Catholic thinking, but ya gotta wonder about this one...
