Tried to date choir boys

A Victorian chap who had agreed to marry his date backed out of the wedding because she was allegedly dating choir boys.

He complained that his when his back was turned she started `running after the choir boys’, and was so upset by her unholy behavior that next day he married another woman.
But his former date complained to a court that by marrying the other woman and not her he was guilty of `breach of promise’, or promising to marry her and then changing his mind.
The judge agreed, and ordered that she be paid compensation of £50.00 (about $100)

  • Bizarre weird unusual events and religion

    Is there a conflict between bizarre, weird and unusual events and religion - more specifically Christianity?
    If we believe that these bizarre events really occurred does this mean that we can no longer believe in religion - that we can no longer believe in Christianity?
    This isn't the purpose of the web site, it isn't intended to weaken anyone's faith.
    This is the reason for the banner at the top of the page.
    It is from a photograph of a stained glass window in an old church.
    The `How Bizarre' logo inside the stained glass is intended to remind visitors that although they can consider the bizarre ideas on the website, they can also be faithful to their religious beliefs.
    They don't have to reject their religious beliefs in favor of the bizarre ideas.
