Religion
Now, you may not know, but I am fervently atheist, and have no truck with all this happy-clappy stuff whatsoever. However, some things have happened which have brought on a "WTF?" moment, the last being:
I went to Egypt last year, to the Sharm-El-Sheikh area. Now, our main reason for going there was to go to Cairo to visit the Pyramids, and generally do some snorkelling, however, as our friends are religious (Neil is a lay preacher, and I incessantly mock him about talking to his imaginary friends- he just laughs, and thwacks me with whatever cap he is wearing that day), we all decided to go up to ST Catherines Monastery. For those of you that don't know, this is the site of the burning bush, and is obviously regarded as one of the most holy sites.
So, best behaviour taken on board, tongue bitten, as I really want to see the Sinai Mountains- which we did, and it was stunning. However, one of our party (Neils father), whilst there suddenly develops a really bad dose of the squits, and keeps getting a pain in his chest. We get a doctor when we get back to the hotel, all is well. However, the moment he landed in England, his squits started up again, and then went on for 2 weeks, and no amount of Immodium or whatever would stop it, so he is whisked off to the infirmary for an endoscopy- at which they discover he has a small malignant tumour in his lower bowel.
Spooky? Maybe. But add this- remember the pain in his chest? They give him an MRI scan to check the growth of the tumour- and discover an Aneurism. Never felt any pain before or after the visit.
And yes, he has had both ops, and is doing very well, but nonetheless- why did it all show itself there?

why did it all show itself there?
something to do with a bloody great hill and it being really really hot? Unfit? Overweight? Dehydrated?

Same reason it might have shown itself anywhere.

I don't know
But previous to this, he was able to take his sons dogs up some of the local bloody great hills, so unfit- no. Dehydrated? Wouldn't think so, we had 36 litres between us of cold filtered water. Just seemed a bit wierd to me.

Probably just
a touch of Montezuma's revenge then
