- And finally, Tempting Fate is brought to us this week by Cochran v. Presbyterian Church of Bloomingdale, in which a married couple (played by teens in the movie) are out on a motorcycle ride when it begins to rain. Inexplicably, they choose a church cemetery as the appropriate spot in which to don their rain gear. While changing, the husband leans against a tombstone, which topples over onto his wife. The couple then sue the municipally-owned church. We’re gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that provoking supernatural forces both high and low just might not be the wisest course of action. Correction: that’s not tempting fate, that’s straight up inciting fate.
