Holy water causes acute intestinal pain
This is the photo of a Russian religious idiot who drunk "holy" water to celebrate Epiphany on 19 January 2010. And then he had to go to the hospital.
Actually, more than 100 believers (i.e. idiots) thought that drinking "holy" water is the right thing to do during the religious feast of Epiphany. And they all had to go to the hospital to be treated for acute intestinal pain.
N.B. The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the Epiphany on 19 January, 13 days later than other churches, because they are stuck with the Julian calendar. When the Bolsheviks finally switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1918, the Russian church did not follow this. I guess they didn't want to do the same thing as the "atheists".

What measure theory is about
It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming
max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]
The bottom line
