The hottest thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days is not the food – it is the image of the Virgin Mary that a cook said she saw on the griddle..
Restaurant manager Brenda Martinez said more than 100 people have flocked to the small town of Calexico on the California-Mexico border to gaze at the likeness since it was discovered as the griddle was being cleaned.
Among the awe-struck was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers who arrived for an exhibition.
One, known as Mr Tempest, said: “This is amazing. It’s a true miracle.*”
Since the discovery, the griddle has been taken out of service and placed in a shrine in a storage room

Swine flu "offensive"
A nice example of just how stupid religious "feelings" can be;
So now the word is a problem?
It must raise some interesting theological questions as if pigs are "unclean" then what happens if you catch a flu some comprising DNA of a pig flu? I imagine the pig flu itself is not unclean (DNA and virus's are not mentioned in the perfect, word-of-god, holy books) but never the less, the virus has been kinda associating with pigs and I doubt it "cleansed" itself before infecting humans.
Maybe they should volunteer to have it called "Israeli flu"??

JERUSALEM – The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday.

GAH! Blasphemy to become crime in Ireland
Just when you thought this country couldn't get any nuttier - now they want to make blasphemy a crime;
Rather than just 'fix' the constitution they would rather ban free speech!!!
Goddamn these fuckers!
Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern proposes to insert a new section into the Defamation Bill, stating: “A person who publishes or utters blasphemous matter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding €100,000.”
“Blasphemous matter” is defined as matter “that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion; and he or she intends, by the publication of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage.”
Rather than just 'fix' the constitution they would rather ban free speech!!!
Goddamn these fuckers!
