Of Exorcisms and Interns

posted by on February 19 at 17:00 PM

For the Christians: Today a Romanian priest was sentenced to fourteen years in jail for accidentally killing a nun he thought was possessed by Satan. He and four other nuns tied the poor woman to a cross without food or water for three days. She died. (The whole story sounds improbable until you get a look at the guy. Then it kind of makes sense.)

For the Muslims: Wahhabis in a little village in Macedonia called Labunista accidentally kill a guy they thought was possessed by Satan. They came to his house, read the Koran, and beat him with sticks. He died.

For everybody else: Film editor Annie Wagner and I need a new intern. If you are available Tuesdays (and at least one other day) and are congenial and not a flake, drop some science to: brendan@thestranger.com or annie@thestranger.com. We promise not to tie you to a cross, hit you with sticks, or read the Koran.

Where can one get a beard like that?

Looks like he stole it from the set of lord of the rings.
