My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.

For some reason I can't really put into words, this gives me the willies:
"A 20-year-old US man is selling advertising space on his forehead to the highest bidder on website eBay.

Andrew Fisher, from Omaha, Nebraska, said he would have a non-permanent logo or brand name tattooed on his head for 30 days.

"The way I see it I'm selling something I already own; after 30 days I get it back," he told the BBC Today programme.

Mr Fisher has received 39 bids so far, with the largest bid currently at more than $322 (£171).
While groups like NoLogo and AdBusters are fighting for your right to live a life where you're not inundated by advertrising, people like this are pulling this crap. Of course, this young entrepreneur still has his standards!
"Mr Fisher said that while he would accept any brand name or logo, "I wouldn't go around with a swastika or anything racial".

He added: "I wouldn't go around with 666, the mark of the beast.
Hell, why not? You've sold your body, you may as well follow with your soul!
