Thoughtful Daniel Sobey-Harker was labelled the 'Jesus of the internet' when he showered commenters online with free pizza
A British man has spent more than £350 buying pizzas for complete strangers in the United States of America - because he was drunk.
Daniel Sobey-Harker generously put a post on social media site Reddit offering to buy a pizza for someone in the US.

High from the highest tree
