The virgin Mary turns up for the new pope
Published by on April 19th, 2005
OK, so there’s a few thousand miles between them, but surely the two events… a straw-drawing session for a new pope and yesterday what might be the Virgin Mary or perhaps a certain part of female anatomy, appearing on the wall of a Chicago expressway.
My fave quotes:
“It’s a miracle. It’s an image of something … you can’t describe it,” Jose Recinos said.
“We’re here because the Virgin Mary is on the wall, and she’s inside the wall, and we were just curious, but at the same time we’re scared, wondering why she’s there and what the meaning is of her being there,” Annette Byrd said.
That’s right, Annette, the Virgin Mary (or at least part of her) has materialised inside a wall. Must have been a transporter malfunction.

Definitely female genitalia.
So I can now run down the street exclaiming, “I have the Virgin Mary in my pants!!”
I think I’d be deported for sure…
Too bad this missed the deadline for your “Dumb Americans” podcast!
smooches to Maddie for pointing out this ridiculous news article~
