God of course. I mean, this is where the thread is inevitably going, right?

1.) It pleases God to toss a vehicle into this river, killing the mother and putting the baby in mortal danger.
2.) God decides, you know what, I changed My mind. I'll alert these rescuers.
3.) That being done, God smiled in His benevolence, and then immediately resumed the deaths of 18 children under five every minute, all day long, 25,000 a day.

Seems legit to me.

Seems legit to me.

Odd, how God got brought into this when I didn't mention it.

If a poster with your background posts something like this and leaves it with a 'totally open-to-interpretation' "one of those mysteries that can really get a person wondering", then you have to understand why people would draw that conclusion from your post.

I think it's wrong to religiously profile posters on Dakka .

Whatever. In PA., I lived in a house out in the country for a few years where similar unexplained things happened all the time. People, both family members and visitors, would hear voices or see people that would be there one second, and the next, gone.

was there drugs? I found acid could create any number of hilarious happenings*, one of my friends found god by hugging trees, she still like trees.

*just keep any one on acid away from a balcony edge,, there seems to be an uncanny obsession with looking over the edge. People on acid don't think they can fly, they just think the view is so awesome they want to be there ( the number of times i've dragged people away from a balcony whilst they were on acid is immense - i've been there myself )

One of the noises I constantly hear at work are the alarms on our IV pumps. It's a very distinct beeping noise (by design, so that you can identify what is alarming and what kind of alarm it is from down the hall). I swear that I hear that alarm going on at home a couple times a day.
