In praise of the oops

Lighter moments

No deep thought or theology here today, just two things which caught my eye.

The first is an advert from an Insurance company, forwarded by a Christian media provider, which uses Noah’s Ark as its graphic (see below). Are they suggesting that they would have paid out for an act of God such as the flood? And if so – who would have been left to pay the sum?

In this second ‘ooops’ moment, spare a thought for Greek actress Ino Menegaki.  Yesterday she was playing the role of High Priestess at Olympia, lighting the Olympic flame with the rays of the sun before dispatching it on its way to London. Below is the moment, with the eyes of the world upon her, where she realised the flame had gone out. ‘Ooops’ doesn’t even come close:
