People of India Look to the Sun for Virgin Mary, Find Blindness

(No, this is not from The Onion.)

48 highly intelligent people from India decided to find out for themselves if an image of Mary was present in the Sun - and blinded themselves.

“Alarmed health authorities in India’s Kottayam district have set up a sign dispelling rumors of a miraculous image in the sky and warning of the dangers of looking into direct sunlight.”

“Despite warnings, and the potentially harmful effects of their actions, believers are allegedly still flocking to a hotelier’s house in Erumeli near where the divine image is said to have appeared.”
