Leading U.S. television evangelist, The Rev. Jerry Falwell, collapsed and died Tuesday in his Lynchburg, Va., office. He was 73.

Falwell, recently added to the exhaulted locale of ODD’s On Deck circle, was found unresponsive after missing a morning appointment, Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Liberty University was quoted as saying in the Lynchburg News & Advance.

Falwell lived in an impressive white house with a swimming pool when he was not traveling the world in a jet paid for by his followers. He had some wealthy supporters but his followers in Lynchburg were mainly working families. He apparently also never missed a meal.

Nude calendars are becoming de rigeur it doth seem. Now we’ve such a calendar depicting male members of a church in New York. The New York-based Sacred Center Church decided a nude calendar would be just the thing to draw attention to the church’s financial need.

All of the models in the calendar are members or congregants of SCNY (perhaps pronounced SIN-y?) and are committed to daily spiritual practice such as prayer, meditation and the reading of spiritual texts.

And just in case you missed this point altogether we note that the Sacred Center Church web site says “It’s not your parent’s church”. True enough and at least Elizabeth Clare Prophet is not involved, nor are the church members off in Montana triumphantly building bomb shelters and terrorizing the bison.

Next up is an ODDones Nude Calendar…NOT!

Eek! A Mouse! We admit to being ODDly torn between the Silly String story, the Mary Cheney (”I Ain’t No Fortunate Son”, er daughter?) story, the “Mom and Dad kidnapped me the day before my wedding” story, the gun in every house (but what about brains?) story, the flatulence downs airliner story, or the continuing tale of Mel Gibson Lunatic For Hire.

The story that has us really nonplussed however is the James Kim story. Why keep going on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere when you are ill-equipped to do so? Why not turn around and head back to the highway? If you are insistent on walking out, why not follow said dirt road back instead of striking off through the woods? Plenty of questions that will likely never be answered, but there is one item we think will come out: hypothermia. The killer in hypothermia is that you THINK you are doing all the right things and making excellent choices, but the sad truth is that you are really in a dangerous downward spiral. Bad news period.
