Twitter user provides followers "direct line to God"

"It's a fax from God, John!"

AmP kudos to anyone who knows the reference.

Anywhere, here's the story:

"Want to tweet God?

An Israeli university student has opened a Twitter site, twitter.com/thekotel, where prayers can be sent for placement in the crevices of Jerusalem's Western Wall, a Jewish holy site that faithful believe provides a direct line to the Almighty.

"I take their prayers, print them out and drive to Jerusalem to put them in the Western Wall," said Alon Nir, a resident of Tel Aviv.

He said he hoped his initiative on the popular Internet social networking service, where users post brief messages known as tweets, would be "beneficial to people all over the world."

Nir promises to deliver the prayers -- each no longer than a tweet's maximum 140 characters -- on a regular basis.He's placed over 1,000 rolled-up papers so far."

What's next? Twittering in your local Mass intentions? I hope not. I mean, it's pretty obvious to me that God monitors Twitter closely. And your Facebook statuses too - so be prudent.
