"When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of
circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course if someone is killed
by a freak chain of events -- the oil spilled just there, the safety fence
broke just there -- that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice
doesn't mean it's not miraculous." Terry Pratchett
