A kiln fired statue survived the fire. It's a miracle.

I left him with a foundation too. Praise my awesomeness.

Feh. My father is an atheist *and* was a firefighter for 20+ years. (He's retired now).

I'm sure he had more faith in his fellow firefighters and his gear.

So, nuns make the best arsonists?

On second thought, the best ones should be Catholic monks, hence the name "friars".
