Throwback: Church Mistakes Tupac Shakur’s ‘Hail Mary’ For Catholic Prayer

2pac catholic prayer

There was mass confusion at a Christmas service in Sri Lanka when the program featured the words to Tupac Shakur’s 1997 song, “Hail Mary,” instead of the traditional Catholic prayer, according to multiple reports.

The service took place on December 11 in Colombo, but pictures of the program went viral during the Christmas holiday. 

Both the “Hail Mary” prayer and Tupac Shakur’s rap song ask Mother Mary to intercede on behalf of sinners, but they differ greatly on the specifics.

Picture of the Day

The letter George H.W. Bush wrote Bill Clinton as he left office

Jan. 20, 1993

Dear Bill,

When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.

I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.

There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don’t let the critics discourage you or push you off course

You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.

Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you.

Good Luck — George

What Makes The AK-47 One Of The Most Reliable Guns In The World?

ak-47

The tolerances(spaces between moving parts) in the AK are loose. There’s lots of room for gunk and dirt to get in there and the gun will still fire and cycle when the trigger is pulled. With loose tolerances, failure to properly clean and lube the weapon won’t hinder it from firing like the M-16 from the Vietnam era.

In addition the AK uses a gas piston technology rather than direct impingement. Both systems use the gas from the recently fired round to load the next round. With the AK the gas is directed to a piston rather than directly at the bolt carrier. This keeps the bolt cleaner and results in less jams. However, it creates additional movement not present in the direct method and therefore sacrifices accuracy.

What happens when we die? Ramin Nazer’s comic “After You Die” answers that very question.

It’s a brilliantly-done look at the various after-death scenarios posed by world religions, science and philosophy. The comic covers the many possible futures that await a human being upon shuffling off this mortal coil. Never has existential dread looked so colorful!

The great question of what happens when we die has been asked by every human being that has ever lived. That means billions and billions.
