Oh for Pete’s sake. Another nutcase has found ‘an image of the Virgin’ on a tortilla sandwich cinnamon bun fencepost pizza pan underpass pebble.
The Holy Pebble was found on a beach in New Zealand by a woman who had ‘an awesome run of luck’ after picking it up. Evidently the awesome run of luck wasn’t permanent since she’s put the Sacred Item up for online auction. Twice. The first time, the winning bid was a hoax. Dang. A hoax! Some people will do anything!
Unbelievably, for Round Two, there are as of this writing, already bids of many thousands of dollars.
A New Zealand Catholic Church spokesperson said the church was ‘cautious’ about responding to claims of holy images of the Virgin Mary, because many turned out to be fakes.
Smack me with a plank from the True Cross! Fakes? No way!
Thing is, you have to be pretty careful when it comes to seeing likenesses in patterns on pebbles. Look at it one way and some might see The Virgin but flip the picture upside down you’ll get an idea of exactly what kind of forces this woman is really messing with.
AAAAAHHHH!
I should have seen that coming, but didn’t. My gain.
When removing splinters after having been smacked with a plank from the True Cross, it is important to rub the affected area with antisceptic.
Time for a manicure, dude.
hahaha! I was expecting the devil and I got… the devil!
I flipped.
I’m still laughing
I just keep seeing a mostly decapitated salariman. I guess that’s someone’s idea of holy…
That does not look like the Virgin Mary. It looks like a walrus wearing a suit.
All hail the holy walrus!
(And I like the upside down version much better.)
I’m with Phoebe Fay.
Well, not really.
I mean, I would be but she’s with MP right now.
Maybe not right now but you know what I mean.
Oh, never mind.
I like the inverted image better, too.
Jam: I love it when I getcha with the gotcha!
Cissy Strutt: Which reminds me… I’ve been waiting for an appropriate occasion to write about Sister Veronica’s veil.
Anne Arkham: C’mon! This is nail-biting stuff!
Pil: How much would I get on eBay for that, do you think?
nursemyra: This is no laughing matter!
JR: He’s not so much decapitated as simply headless. Like his head has vanished from his suit. Wait! It’s a MIRACLE!!!
Phoebe Fay: Maybe it’s Church of the Holy Walrus fanatics who are pusing up the auction price!
Catalyst: Too much religion will do that to yer brain.
I had better investigate! She might be a rellie, & I might be entitled to a share!
Too bad, I like the idea that the pattern of that well rounded pebble is some of the beautiful random geology you see everywhere else. Instead it was merely a miracle.
Meggie: If she’s a relative, I hope you didn’t inherit the rocks in the head too.
Casey: Yes. Funny, isn’t it, that people look for the miracles in all the wrong places.
