An on-line outdoor retailer in the United States is selling camouflaged Bibles, a curious product which says a lot about American culture.

“Our NIV (New International Version) Bible in Realtree camo is our best selling item, followed closely by our camo Bible cover,” said David Lingner, the president of Arkansas-based Christian Outdoorsman, which sells Christian-themed hunting and angling products online.

The cover of this Bible is graced by leaves and tree bark. This enables the devout who also hunt to take their Bible into the woods with them while concealing it from their prey.

For the first time in his 13-year law enforcement career, [Michigan] State Trooper Rocco Daversa responded Sunday to an “out of control” birthday party at American House, a senior living home in Westland.

A resident at the home, whom police identified as Geraldine, called this morning, worried a celebration thrown for her 92nd birthday might get out of hand.

“She wanted us to be on guard,” Daversa said.

But the home was calm — the party isn’t until next week, and the resident was just a bit confused when she made the call, Daversa said. He was happy to make the trip from the State Police Metro South Post, and was ready with a birthday card on behalf of the State Police.
