Cheez, what a crazy guy!
Cornelius Horan, 57, was wearing a green beret, red kilt and knee-high green socks when he burst out of the crowd lining the marathon route. He grabbed hold of a startled Vanderlei de Lima, pushing the Brazilian runner across the street and knocking him into the crowd at the other side.
Athens police sources identified the intruder as Cornelius Horan, who has been barred from practising as a priest for the past decade. He once published a book called A Glorious New World Very Soon to Come'' that predicted the end of the world was close.
The attacker Sunday night had a piece of paper attached to his back bearing the message: ``The Grand Prix Priest Israel Fulfillment of Prophecy Says the Bible.''
In July 2003, Horan, in a costume similar to Sunday's, ran onto the track at the British Grand Prix in the middle of the race and stayed there for more than 20 seconds, forcing Formula One racers traveling at more than 320 km/h to swerve around him. He was carrying a sign that said ``read the Bible - the Bible is always right.''
Cheez, what a crazy guy!
