[net.followup] concerning foxholes and calling out to god

For what it's worth, I once found myself in a VW spinning out
of control on a 4-lane freeway (spun around twice) and drifting 
towards a guard rail overlooking the railroad tracks about 100
feet down. All 4 lanes had cars coming at me. I said,
"Oh, SHIT!". It must have worked, because I found myself sitting
on the right shoulder of the road, pointing the right way, with
only a stalled engine for problems (and a rapidly beating heart!).
