Yeah, exactly!! I'll have my kiddo aim the soccer ball towards his head... wait, that may mess up the teeth even worse, huh?

But at least that kid'll get his teeth fixed.

Actually, I've given this some little thought (very little, in fact), and the only really good use of prayer I can think of is a priest on his knees and praying for whatever it is they pray for - because then his hands are kept occupied and out of harm's way.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
