Sacrilegious(?)

“Absolutely unsinkable! God Himself couldn’t sink this ship!” Cal gloated, as he boarded the Titanic.

Up in Heaven, God heard these badly chosen words.

Picking up his phone, he said: “Gabriel? I need a meeting with the Ocean and Glacier departments. These people are getting too big for their boots!”

How Penicillin was Really discovered...

Alex had been experimenting all morning, but now it was time for lunch.

Annoyingly, his sandwich had gone mouldy, so he sent his assistant to get another one.

Danny had been reading other people’s short stories. And some of them were pretty good.
