"Garbage pile saves Vangelis (Angelo) Kapatos, 26, who tried to commit suicide in midtown " http://nydn.us/g6v7nn | Interesting. A manure pile saved city imperial regency victims of the 2nd Defenestration of Prague. (Better planning at the 1st Defenestration of Prague led to city councilors being impaled on the upright pikes of the defenestration conspiracy.)  http://bit.ly/hfCGr2
More a theological (post-biblical miracles) than political difference, one trusts: "Roman Catholic Imperial officials claimed that the three men survived due to the mercy of angels assisting the righteousness of the Catholic cause. Protestant pamphleteers asserted that their survival had more to do with the horse excrement in which they landed than the benevolent acts of the angels." ibid. http://bit.ly/hfCGr2
