		<description>There's nothing new in this.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Remember the old ejaculation "Mayó God help us!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is a vatican approved blessing for everything, almost. Look them up. They have to compose them to keep pace with modern inventions. Here is an extract from the one they composed for the trains in the 1850/60s - from the Irish Ecclesiastical Record 1865, Vol. I. P.146:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Benedictio Viae Ferreae et Curuum&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;.. Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, … dum famuli tui velociter properant in via, in lege tua ambulantes, et viam mandatorum  tuorum currentes, ad coelestam patriam feliciter pervenire valeant.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;No going off the rails here!</description>
