One of my favorite human interest stories involves crazy drivers. Those with questionable drving styles. Jehu was notorius for this. So much so that he was recognised by all, just by the way he drove his chariot. He would surely love to be drag racing or maybe even driving in Nascar!!!
2nd Kings 9:14-29
Any Bible stories tickle your fancy?
The acccount of Ahithophel's traitorous course recorded at 2 Samuel 17 really intrigues me.
Of particular note is that he hanged himself, same as the later traitor whom he prefigured, Judas Iscariot.

This one is simply hilarious.
Acts 19:11 -12 God did powerful things through Paul, things quite out of the ordinary. The word got around and people started taking pieces of clothing—handkerchiefs and scarves and the like—that had touched Paul's skin and then touching the sick with them. The touch did it—they were healed and whole.
13 -16 Some itinerant Jewish exorcists who happened to be in town at the time tried their hand at what they assumed to be Paul's "game." They pronounced the name of the Master Jesus over victims of evil spirits, saying, "I command you by the Jesus preached by Paul!" The seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were trying to do this on a man when the evil spirit talked back: "I know Jesus and I've heard of Paul, but who are you?" Then the possessed man went berserk—jumped the exorcists, beat them up, and tore off their clothes. Naked and bloody, they got away as best they could. The Message Bible
