Chapter XXX.—Account given by the Great Athanasius of the Death of Arius.

" ... The dispute ran high; the partisans of Eusebius were loud in their menaces, while Alexander had recourse to prayer. The Lord was the judge, and declared himself against the unjust. A little before sunset Arius was compelled by a want of nature to enter the place appointed for such emergencies, and here he lost at once both restoration to communion and his life. ... It is said that for a long period subsequently no one would make use of the seat on which he died. ... "

I'm thinking Santa Claus's (not unlike Chuck Norris's) punches are fatal, they take a while, but man, kapow and it's all over. Much like the notorious Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.
