1. Perhaps God is trying to tell us...

That she wants us to leave fossil fuels the hell alone.

7. God don't come around here no more.

She hates the sight of us.

Won't you help me if you can.

When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man?

13. I've said it before but I'll say it again.

They were way ahead of their time!

I've been listening to their "Reunion" CD all week in my car. "Into the Void" seems appropriate the way that things are going.

15. Funny you should mention...

I just found a music school recording of metal played on harp! Harptallica... or something like that! Into the Void absolutely SLAYS on harp!

I loves me some Sab... and Ozzy...

A fuel tanker carrying nine million litres of diesel fuel has run aground in the Northwest Passage, the Canadian Coast Guard confirmed Thursday.

The tanker, which is owned by Woodward's Oil, ran aground on a sandbar Wednesday southwest of the western Nunavut community of Gjoa Haven.

It was carrying diesel to resupply Gjoa Haven and other remote communities in the region. No diesel is believed to have spilled, coast guard officials told CBC News.

Transport Canada is working with the company to get the tanker floating again.

The coast guard says it is too early to tell when the ship will be able to move.
