Why Do You Think It's Called A SON-o-gram?

Another spiritual ultrasound has surfaced. The first two (see: 1, 2) were in Ohio but it seems the miracle has moved westward to Valencia, CA. So much for California setting the trends. While the doctors saw a child at 8 weeks, 4 days, Anthony and Xaviera Fierro say they see the outline of the Blessed Mother. They claim it's "an actual printout," and it's "not a joke." It is, of course, available on eBay.

A Message From Ant Mary

Images of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary have been discovered on leaves in the rain forests of Brazil, and they were made by ants! A biologist says the tiny holes in the guava, mango and other fruit trees couldn't have been made by humans. Reverend Antonio Maria says he saw ants cut out an image of the Virgin Mary on a palm tree branch in two hours. As further proof, they say one of the leaves is inscribed with the word "pas," which they believe to be a misspelled version of the Portuguese for peace, "paz." Hey, they're ants, you can't expect them to be great spellers, you know.

Rorschach Nativity

People from around the globe have traveled to Vermilion, Ohio, over the past year to see mold stains on the back of a Nativity scene that look like Jesus Christ. I mean, the Virgin Mary. Okay, the pope. "It started with about five images that we could recognize," said Roger Hanson, whose wife, Elizabeth, owns Abigail's Antiques & Emporium. "Now it's up to about 12." When they got the wooden Nativity scene it was completely covered with mold. They tried to scrub it off with a toothbrush, blast it with an air compressor and use a heavy brush. Finally they washed it with dish soap. The mold grew back. Hanson looked at it and saw a profile of the Virgin Mary. His wife saw Jesus Christ. Others have seen the pope, a burro's head, a hand holding a chalice, a Catholic cardinal, a halo over Christ's head, an upside-down crown, three palm branches on Christ's head, a celestial hand and Jesus' hand extended outward. They've been offered $10,000 for it but won't sell.
