[TheForge] Unbelievable...

What does this have to do with blacksmithing? As a off-topic submission it
is tainted by your nasty condescending attitude towards Catholics.

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...
