Now travelling back from two days on the South Coast, I've just read Martin Robbin's Lay Scientist blog at the Guardian, where there's the story of a Brazilian evangelical cult leader called Welder Saldanha banning his followers from using USB connections on their computers. This, says the story, is because the universal symbol for the technology "is a trident, which is used to torture souls".
Although the writer does wonder whether the story could be a spoof, and it's hard to tell when you consider the kind of pronouncement Stephen Green made last month, the bit about how the members of the Paz do Senhor Amado cult can connect devices in lieu of USB is undeniably very funny. Apparently, Bluetooth is fine because "Blue was the colour of the eyes of our saviour Jesus Christ"....
