Police have patrolled the emergency turnoff area under the Kennedy Expressway since Monday as hundreds of people have walked down to see the image and the growing memorial of flowers and candles that surround it. Beside the image is an artist's rendering of the Virgin Mary embracing Pope John Paul II in a pose some see echoed in the stain.

"We believe it's a miracle," said Elbia Tello, 42. "We have faith, and we can see her face."

Tuesday morning, women knelt with rosary beads behind a police barricade while men in work shirts stood solemnly before the image, praying. A police officer kept the crowd of about three dozen from getting too close to the traffic but didn't stop them gathering around the stain.

Thumbs down Miraculous piss stains, you gotta be kidding me.

Yea, it is truly a miracle. Imagine, an image of the BVM composed entirely of wino urine, which of course is jesus blood after processing by the human kidney.

Here is a homework challenge for the men, piss on a wall (in one spot, don't wave it about) and leave a stain that does not look like a shrouded human. That would be far more miraculous that the stain that these whackjobs are worshiping.

Cheers,

Naked Ape

Default Thruway Thaumaturgy!

Be prepared Infidels! As soon, with the Big Dig being completed in Boston and springing leaks right and left through the concrete, for a HUGE number of such Virgin Mary sightings in Boston!

It's the end of the world, I say! Lo Bechtel has become the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse (The dread Horseman of Construction Engineering Failures!)

-h.

Umm, what part of the virgin Mary is this stain supposed to represent?

I saw that, and for the life of me it looks like the Virgin Mary's vulva to me. You can even see a little "man in the boat".
