Virgin Mary "appears" on highway underpass wall

[fryguy]

our blessed lady of the on-ramp?

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A steady stream of the faithful and the curious, many carrying flowers and candles, have flocked to an expressway underpass for a view of a yellow and white stain on a concrete wall that some believe is an image of the Virgin Mary.

i guess the "image" is the pinnacle-like smear to the right of the picture? doesn't look much more like the virgin mary to me than the cloud outside my window looks like richard nixon . . . but i guess people find "faith" where they want . . .

1. It ain't Mary.

It's cleary Munch's "The Scream"

2. And how do people know it is the virgin Mary? It could be an

imposter!

3. I just hope...

the tunnel isn't permitted to deteriorate to the point of being unsafe just because some fools see what they want to see there.

On the other hand, maybe I should go and take some pictures of this "miracle" and sell them for big bucks on Ebay!

4. Sure, you could say it looks like the Virgin Mary

But you could just as easily say it looks like some female anatomy.

5. Er, dude. That's the Alien, the Grey Man

From Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher"

6. What utter ignorance

What's so disgusting is these nuts think the virgin Mary would always manifest herself in the form of a water/chemical stain (or grilled cheese sandwich). Don't they think if she were working her magic that she could muster up something more respectful?

What fools.

7. Baaaaaa

8. Looks more like a vigina to me

10. Should keep faith, love of Mother Mary worthy.

Only tears, blood, healing, and sun dance can not fake!

11. Who'da thunk it?

With this world in the sorry ass state it's in, and the human race as a whole not deserving of much more than an asteroid up the gazzoo, you'd think gods and goddesses would have better things to do than hang around on the wall of an underpass.
