It’s not good to try to bargain with the Creator:

A man in Ukraine set out to prove that the Lord would protect him when he clambered into the lion enclosure at a Kiev zoo Sunday, The St Petersburg Times reports.

An official at the zoo said: “The man shouted ‘God will save me, if he exists’, lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions.”

The man drowned. When he got to heaven, he asked God, “I had faith – why didn’t you save me?” God shrugged his shoulders and said, “I sent two boats and a helicopter…”
