[TheForge] Unbelievable...

Okay, so water from a toilet is leaking under a statue of Jesus.  The
Catholics, being too dumb or too cheap to consider the possibility of
leaking plumbing, cover their embarrassment by declaring it to be holy
water.  (Well, I guess that if you can bless the water in a font, you
can bless the water in a a toilet.)  Believers then treat this sewage
as holy water, presumably applying it to themselves and their
children, or perhaps even drinking it.  RC's should be up on charges,
yes?  No, the guy who traced the leak is up on charges:

Maybe we should come up with a line of statues -- Jesus, Mary, etc. --
who "magically" drool and drip snot out of their noses.  Possibly we
could make them incontinent as well. My hesitation is only that it
might belittle people who, though no fault of their own, drool or drip
snot (i.e., mentally deficient or highly allergic), or the
incontinent...
