4/19/2005: Virgin Mary appears in salt in freeway underpass

Undertoad · 04-19-2005, 11:50 AM

IotD will continue to document absurd Mary findings. Previously on IotD she has been seen in a tree stump and in a fence. In this case she is seen in the road salt that has dripped down onto the wall in that spot and then dried.

It's really all about the human ability to connect and see patterns and to convince themselves of what they want to see...

I think it looks more like Madonna, the singer, you know, "Like a Virgin," not actually one.

Since when do the Blessed Virgin's elbows touch the ground. Her arms would have to be around nine feet long to pull that off.

Besides, that's not Mary. I asked her about it when I talked with her this morning and she just sighed, rolled her eyes and said: "Its freakin' salt, dude."

Why would Mary be trying to lure people to their deaths?

I think it's ridiculous when a potato that looks like the Virgin Mary sells on ebay for more than the what I payed for my car, but I have to say, that's a remarkable image. *Especially* because it's created by random road salt. Usually, I think it's absurd people give so much significance to these things, but this one is remarkably detailed and close to the actual image of a praying, veiled Mary. I can understand this one. The only problem I have is that it's a man, baby.

I think it looks like a vagina.

LabRat · 04-19-2005, 01:06 PM

whew, i'm not the only one who saw that before mary...

jaguar · 04-19-2005, 01:36 PM

ditto.

warch · 04-19-2005, 01:43 PM

quadritto. So a more ancient form of female diety worship.

lookout123 · 04-19-2005, 02:00 PM

ok, i cannot see mary in here anywhere. the vagina does jump right though.

Happy Monkey · 04-19-2005, 02:14 PM

Maybe if you look close enough, you can tell it's the virgin
Mary.

warch · 04-19-2005, 02:15 PM

Ha!

What we really need is an IOTD category of images of things that form in window glass, trees, food, etc that *aren't* Mary, but look like, perhaps, Joe DiMaggio or Bette Davis.

What we need is for peepul to get their heads out of their asses and look for meaning and pattern inside, instead of outside.
