2/6/2003: Virgin Mary fence



They're at it again - the masses who "see" the Virgin Mary in something and then have to fawn all over it. In the past we've seen people celebrating a tree stump... now, a fence in Sydney.

They say if you stand in a certain location, at certain times of the day, and squint your eyes real hard you'll see the Virgin Mary. So a photographer took the same shot out of focus, and voila - you can indeed see the image.

It's NOT just a fence and a shadow! It's a divine message, but ONLY if you purposefully mess up your vision. To me, the statement this makes is pretty ironic. But the lesson is sobering: some people will go to incredible lengths to convince themselves that they see what they think they see.
