Chicago Officials Turn Off 'Jesus' Light - Yahoo! News
Fred Pilot sent along this story. A few weeks ago the Virgin Mary was spotted on a patch of efflorescence on a wall somewhere in Chicago. This week, it is Jesus Christ who has been seen in a streetlight in East Chicago, Indiana. That, of course, has now led to "a large fight." Which deity is next to be spotted in the midwestern urban infrastructure, I wonder? Vishnu? Odin? Zoroaster?

EAST CHICAGO, Ind. - City officials have turned off a streetlight that drew more than 250 people to see a shadow that some say resembles the image of Jesus Christ. East Chicago Police Chief Angelo Machuca called an emergency meeting Sunday to recommend the light be turned off in the interest of public safety after nearby residents complained about blocked cars and visitors congregating until 5 a.m. Several arrests were made Friday night after a large fight broke out in the area.
