In Russia, thousands of Muslims are flocking to see a baby who has verses from the Koran mysteriously appearing on his body: I’d like to be very clear here: this is not pareidolia, our ability to see patterns in random objects. The verses are clearly there, and not just random. As one pilgrim said, “It’s proof that Allah exists, that he is all-mighty…” However — and perhaps this is just me here — it seems far more likely that instead of an actual miracle, someone is maybe, y’know, writing the verses on the baby. The mother says the baby is cranky when the words appear, which (if she’s being truthful) you might expect if someone is scraping or otherwise irritating the baby’s skin to make the words appear. I’ll note that the words fade with time, too, just as expected if this is a fraud.

At least they didn’t stuff him in a helium balloon and cut him loose.

    Good objective journalism! Neither confirms nor denies this is hoax. What the hell does it take for journalists not to endorse any ridiculous scam as long as it provides them with viewers/readers?

    I once had some words magically appear on my arm after leaning on a newspaper…

    I knew it was a miracle because no where did the wizardly words blame George Bush.

    #17, Sister Mary,

    And after I landed I took the plane straight to maintenance to have the ventilation system checked. The mechanics couldn’t believe the corrosion since the last inspection just last week. They were wondering what hazardous materials snuck onto the plane.

    Sister, I don’t know if you are proud or humble, but damn woman !!! I don’t get hazard pay for that shit.

    #23 – Ralph, I swear I didn’t eat anything that smelled that bad! I think it’s those fucking communion wafers.

    Wow, I always knew Islam is the truth, and here is another proof. Suck that you haters! hehehehe :p

  9. This imbecile ‘Merkin who burned pages from the Holy Qu’ran at the WTC is such a jerkoff. I hope Muslims know that he does not characterize Americans, but I understand that their sensibilities will be exceedingly hurt by his actions.
