Also it reminds me of the old joke (of which there are many forms besides this one http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/religious.htm):
A priest, rabbi and minister went fishing in a boat on a lake. The priest said that he was thirsty, stood up, stepped out of the boat and walked across the water to shore where he purchased a can of soda. After he returned in the same manner the minister thought the soda was a good idea so he also stepped out of the boat and walked on the water to shore for a soda. After he returned the rabbi decided to follow their exampled. He took one step out of the boat and promptly sank out of sight.
The priest turned to the minister. "I guess we should have told him where the rocks were."

Pastor Tries to Walk on Water Like Jesus, Then Drowns in Front of His Congregation
by Barry Burch Jr. Walking on water is not easy. Not too many people have the ability. Let’s see, there’s Jesus, and well, that’s about it. Unfortunately for one pastor on the West Coast of Africa, his attempt to become the second man to make this impossible feat a reality cost him his life.
+Dave Hill great headline and perfect setup to the article
… and the minister replies to the priest "What rocks?"

This story appears to have originated on WND, that bastion of truth telling and journalism, back in 2006. I’ve not seen anything so far to prove it.
@Ellie – Ah! Good to know, thanks.
