The face of the Virgin Mary... in a Canadian Underpass..
Quote:
From: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/04/20/mar....ap/index.html
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A steady stream of the faithful and the curious, many carrying flowers and candles, have flocked to an expressway underpass for a view of a yellow and white stain on a concrete wall that some believe is an image of the Virgin Mary.
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.

Well, I was going to make a comment, but not really sure I need to... Apart from saying that it's amazing where people think they have seen Mary..

Well - what can I say!!!!
I'd LIKE to say I'm completely surprised, but I'm not 
Still, if that's what they want to believe good luck to them.

Re: The face of the Virgin Mary... in a Canadian Underpass..
haha, I thought it looked more like Anubis from SG-1 or at least the grim reaper rather than the Virgin Mary.
