Our Lady of the Underpass >>>

[Stephanie]

Has the world gone crazy?






Bette Shober (L) and Joanne Vrablik (R) take a closer look at what people believe to be an image of the Virgin Mary under a freeway underpass in Chicago, April 18, 2005. Police said the image might have been caused by stains from road salt that dripped from the Kennedy expressway onto the wall, but hundreds of believers have been coming to the underpass to view the image and pray at the spot.

[toymachines]

5. your fucking kidding me.

people drive me nuts. its a stain on a wall. has anything interesting happened, i mean it could be where some homeless guy relieved himself the night before. i would love to see the miracle that is the result of salt residue. but please continue to worship this FALSE IDOL.

8. your fucking kidding me.

sorry double post.

[toymachines]

15. poor bums couldnt sleep in

i bet thats what they live for man. no work. no school. no where to be, and a hundred people chase him off at 6 in the morning. i bet the "virgin mother" came to keep the bums warm. even that makes more sense than her appearing so people can stand under an underpass and pray.

13. "Something is not right!"

that's for sure.

[earth mom]

10. If anything....maybe she was sent to protect the homeless...

since gawd knows they need it! Maybe the fundies will notice the living conditions too while they're there-that would be nice. :sarcasm:

11. Its a miracle!

I'm getting goosebumps!:eyes:

[formerrepuke]

14. LOL..! That's called "efflouresence" (I think).. its all over my basement.

[notadmblnd]

16. IDOT is treating it like a roadside monument.

:eyes:

[arwalden]

17. Those People Are IDIOTS...It Looks Like Cousin-It From The Addams Family.

[notadmblnd]

18. Yes, that look like nothing more than a water stain.

let's see if some fool trys to sell it on E-bay

[walldude]

20. Lmao.. people taking pictures and shit.. too funny

Let's see, now I've seen the Virgin Mary on a Pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich, a potato chip, and a water stain under a highway. Does this negate the whole "Intelligent Design" theory? I mean if god wanted to give people a sign you'd think he'd be smarter and more creative than to do it on a highway underpass in Chicago...

21. Nice Labia. Looks like a giant Vagina.

Is it just me, or does "virgin" not even come close?

[Straight Shooter]

26. I believe you're right. It's the Vulva Mary.

She has come to bring blessings to the hopelessly stupid.

24. OK. That's it.

Tonight my driveway is getting an oil stain that looks like an image of the Virgin Mary. Tomorrow morning, I rope off my driveway and charge $50 a pop to see it. Pay $100 to get your picture taken with it and I'll throw in a free quart of "blessed" 10W40. Next week, my car will be auctioned off. Since it doesn't have an oil leak, the Good Lord must have intervened and fixed the leak after the holy image spewed forth from the crankcase. It's a miracle! The car has obviously been blessed so bidding starts at $50,000. My house will be up for auction too. I'd say bidding can start at a cool mil, mainly because the type of whackos that would bid on it would pay anything. Hmmm...a couple more of these and I can retire. I'm an atheist but I have to say thank God for these religious nutjobs. They will truly be my salvation as they will save me from a life of actually having to work for a living. Bring 'em on! ;)
