Morons blind themselves looking for Virgin Mary in the Sun

KOTTAYAM, India, March 11 (UPI) -- Reports in India of a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary in the sky have led about 50 people to blind themselves by staring at the sun.

The visions are said to appear over the former home of a hotel owner in the Kottayam area in southeast India, The Daily Telegraph reported. One hospital in the district reported 48 patients had been admitted with burned retinas since last week, the British newspaper reported.

Churches have warned their congregations that looking at the sun will cause permanent blindness and have told them the supposed miracle is not one.

Before moving out, the hotel owner reportedly had also claimed to have statues of the Virgin Mary that cried honey and bled oils and perfumes.

At first I thought it was an Onion article....WHY DID I HAVE TO BE WRONG!?

Silly people. Don't they know the Virgin Mary appears in pancakes, not the sun?

Also: Old news. Check the date, this is over two years old.

Dang it! When I read the header, I thought it said "Mormons blind themselves looking for Virgin Mary in the Sun".

>sigh< Can't win 'em all.

I laughed for 20 minutes after reading this. Thank you. I needed that.

Isn't this about the fifth time this has happened?

Note to self, the Virgin Mary will not be found in the sun. [/sarcasm]
