Ghost of Norman Fell Performs a Miracle
For those keeping track, the score is:
Jehovah: 0

According to AAA, the price of gas has hit its sixth consecutive record high. For something to happen once or twice might be coincidence, but for it to happen six times in a row is clearly the result of supernatural intervention. Inversely, for something not to happen six times in a row is clearly attributable to the failure of some other thing. Surely this is a miraculous sign!

Retail gas prices hit record highs for the sixth straight day, auto group AAA's Web site showed Tuesday.
The latest reading from AAA showed that the nationwide average for a gallon of regular unleaded hit $3.732, up from $3.718 the previous day.
Gas prices have now increased for seven straight days. The climb comes ahead of the Memorial Day holiday and start of the summer driving season.

In a related comment, LiveJournal user jjjiii pleads for mercy:
I'm begging you to stop this infernal prayer to the Fell god before you destroy us all!Sorry, jjjiii, but the prayers will continue until May 27, as per the original plan. I would consider ending them only if Rocky Twyman makes a public statement that he has come to realize the error of his ways and will henceforth leave off his blasphemy and come and knock on the door of the One True Roper.
Rocky, we've been waiting for you.
