I wonder though, if your fan did catch on fire, would they make you prove that god did it? You would truly be a fucked monkey then.
No, you're misinterpreting it completely. Acts of God is an old, old legal term meaning things that happen in nature. And no, unless a bolt of lightning struck and set your fan on fire, it is not an act of god (nature).

This really is not a hard concept to grasp. Like the phrase "Goddamnit" doesn't mean "Oh Lord, I beseech thyself to damn thee to hell" colloquially as much as it means more of "I am annoyed".

You know how gay no longer implies happy and carefree, but homosexual? Language changes by common usage. And some language does not change.

Syn, I know that. I was just being facetious. It's a little something I do from time to time.
