Funny story. My cousin's parent were super christian religious. The sect where they "speak in tongues". Anyway, they would play bible readings on tape to him at bedtime. One night, they started the tape and left the room. Some time later they heard him screaming from Hus room. Of course they came running in and found him in tears, utterly panicked. The stereo had eaten the tape or died (I don't remember), and he thought that god had died.

So yeah. Should be good.
