Just call her the patron saint of home furnishings!  After showing up in a man’s dresser wood grain the other day, the Virgin Mary is back.  This time, the mother of Jesus appeared in the swirl pattern in Danell Griego’s shower tiles in Belen, New Mexico.  She was also holding the recently crucified Jesus, rather than just praying by herself.  Assuming you see anything in the marble, of course.

“We built the house a couple years ago, and we have a stand in the shower and a jacuzzi tub in the master bath,” said Ms. Griego.  “We also have a hot tub right outside the master bathroom, so we had not used the tub.  I decided I was going to try out the tub since it had been sitting there unused for so long.  I got the water and bubbles ready, hopped in and was relaxing and decided to light a candle.  When I reached over to grab the candle, right behind it was the image.”

I really hate it when religious images show up randomly in my bathroom; don’t you hate that, too?  I mean, it takes so much scrubbing to get that Virgin Mary that cries blood off my sink!

It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
