Latest Virgin Mary sighting: Chocolate drippings

Why just the other day, I was walking through my east pasture towards the creek when this freshly fallen pile of cow dung caught my eye ...

Workers at a chocolate company have discovered a 2-inch-tall (5-centimeter-tall) column of chocolate drippings that they believe bears a striking resemblance to traditional depictions of the Virgin Mary.

By the way, did you notice that CNN did not put this in 'Offbeat'? Apparently, unlike ag stories, sightings of the BVM are considered top news

Update: CNN has finally moved this to 'Offbeat' - but it was in Top Stories - just look at the URLs in the links above, copied from their news feed.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
