Smith finds himself in Europe
With a big backpack slung over his shoulders and a five-country Eurail pass in hand, Smith left the routine of life in the United States this week, to find himself in Europe. Though many expected that this process might take weeks of traveling, soul-searching, interaction with locals, and unexpected life-altering experiences, Smith indicates that the mission was an immediate and entirely effortless success. With his first step off the plane at Schipol airport in Amsterdam, "I found myself," says Smith with a serene look of newfound self-knowledge, "in Europe."

Theologians: God a total pervert
Christian theologians were troubled this week when their intense ruminations on God's attributes lead them the inescapable conclusion that God compulsively watches people have sex. "And it's not just married couples having missionary sex," explained Bishop Malcolm Kellar, "but even the most kinky and depraved stuff you can imagine. He watches it all, every single day." Other theologians were quick to point out that God has long taken a firm stand against such perversions as sex between men or sex with animals. "But that sure doesn't keep him from watching," added Kellar.

Tony Danza rises from the grave
Just after the stroke of midnight last night, the zombified corpse of veteran television and b-movie actor Tony Danza pushed its icy-cold hand up from the grave. Fortunately Rev. Smith was on the scene and had come fully prepared. "The ancients predicted this day would come," said Smith to no one in particular as he mercilessly pounded the undead man's hand with a pewter mallet. "Tony was my friend in life, but his time is long past. Back! Back into the earth!" shouted Smith. As the full moon became shrouded in clouds, the undead man's hand finally retreated back beneath the dirt. "I will see you again," said Smith, "in 2011."
