Mel Gibson makes a movie based in its own twisted way on the Bible. The actor who plays Jesus is struck by lightning. Another crew member (given the lovely nickname of Lightning Boy) was also struck in the incident - the SECOND time he’d been struck while filming the movie. A line shamelessly cribbed from I don’t even know who: how many times does God have to repeat Himself?

The law of three suggests another entry here, but I don’t know what it would be. Frogs, maybe, or perhaps the sun stopping in its path across the sky.

Be careful!
