    “In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
    —Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)

    if you are lost
    what is Naxos, Tinos, Andros,
