One Cool Virgin
Upon seeing the ice formation pictured above, one Stephan Santos, a customer of the grocery store in Texas where it was "discovered" said, "I wanted to cry when I saw it. My mom has all saints in her house. But this one just got to me." I think I want to cry also but for quite a different reason.
Usually there is some minor mystery as to how these "appearances" of the virgin come about but not here,
It started as one drip from the ceiling of a freezer at Morton Thrifty Foods grocery store.
Yes, those are candles, flowers and other items of adoration among the frozen vegetables. One patron even claims it has healing powers, "I had a lump in my breast, and yesterday, when I went home, it disappeared. I don't have it no more."
If people can believe in a healing virgin made from drips, then we don't need to look far to understand how people can believe a large collection of other incredible things or ignore clear inferences for which there are large bodies of evidence.
Read the whole story and watch the video at the CBS2 website.

Actually, I agree with another blogger (forgot who, sorry) who referred to it as a, ahem, "marital aid" (something that is illegal in Texas, btw). Note the little, uh, stimulator at the bottom.

Yeah, it looks like an uncircumcised penis to me.
