Chocolatiers see image of Virgin Mary in chocolate drippings. Oy Vey.
Why is it blond nordic Lutherans named Knut Jorgenssen never discover these images? Enough of Mary seen in assorted food stuff!

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. - As a chocolatier to the rich and famous, Martucci Angiano has posed with many celebrities. But on Thursday she held in her hand a figure that dazzles her more than any Hollywood star: a 2-inch-tall column of chocolate drippings that workers at her gourmet chocolate company believe bears a striking resemblance to the Virgin Mary.

Kitchen worker Cruz Jacinto was the first to spot the lump of melted chocolate when she began her shift Monday cleaning up drippings that had accumulated under a large vat of dark chocolate.

4. I've Gotta Admit, That's A Pretty Cool One.
There have been many that are so absurd and stretches of the imagination. But I like this one. It actually bears some resemblence and was pretty cool that it formed from chocolate drippings. Course, it's just chocolate, but I still rank this one as one of the better ones.

6. Because as Lutherans, we were taught to avoid too much Mary veneration
It was considered to be one of the "evils" of the Catholic Church. :-)

Now, if someone sees hotdish in a chocolate dripping...

7. All I can think of is Tommy Smothers singing
"I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate"

Dickie: "Tommy, why'd you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate?"

Tommie: I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate cuz nobody'd save me if I yelled CHOCOLATE!"

13. Oh man!
This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates.

14. It may be an Islamic woman in a burqa
Why does it always have to be Mary? Why couldn't it be St. Anne or even Mary Magdelene? Maybe it's Mother Teresa.

Say you poured it into a pan, and it formed into an image of her.
