Why do people have to be so retarded? I can't decide if this is funny or sad.

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A steady stream of the faithful and the curious, many carrying flowers and candles, have flocked to an expressway underpass for a view of a yellow and white stain on a concrete wall that some believe is an image of the Virgin Mary.
Police have patrolled the emergency turnoff area under the Kennedy Expressway since Monday as hundreds of people have walked down to see the image and the growing memorial of flowers and candles that surround it. Beside the image is an artist's rendering of the Virgin Mary embracing Pope John Paul II in a pose some see echoed in the stain.
"We believe it's a miracle," said Elbia Tello, 42. "We have faith, and we can see her face."
Tuesday morning, women knelt with rosary beads behind a police barricade while men in work shirts stood solemnly before the image, praying. A police officer kept the crowd of about three dozen from getting too close to the traffic but didn't stop them gathering around the stain.

Did you ever lay on your back and watch the sky to see if you could make out different animals or faces in the clouds? When was the last time you did that? 6 years old? 10? Did you believe that there really were elephants and dolphines floating up in the sky, or did you come to the realization that they were part of your imagination? My point is this- if 6 year olds can distinguish reality from imagination, why can't these brainless bipeds do the same? One can only hope that sometime today, a semi truck bipasses a weigh station on its way to Chicago, exceeds the weight limit of that overpass, causes the thing to colapse and everyone under it is crushed to death while laying down candles in homage to a big water stain on a slab of concrete.
