A few people have shown me this today, but in case you hadn't already seen it, here's your daily dose of idolatry.

They are at least bowing down before their true God.

So true.

I am just amazed that not one of them said--to themselves at least, "Hey...wait a minute...don't this remind me of something?"

What, you expect them to read the bible, too? They just like to wave it around.

indigoskynet posted that picture just a little before you did, here's my comment on her pic:

About 15 years ago, when The University of Maryland was doing some remodeling of their main library, they had gated off an area about 20 feet around the library for everyone's protection.

Within that 20 feet area was a bronze statue of a terrapin named Testudo. Legend has it that if you rub his nose before a test, you'll get an A.

The first semester of remodeling the library, Testudo was stuck on the wrong side of the fence, so no one could rub his nose. Consequently, the average GPA of the university went down almost a half point.

Needless to say, they reworked the fence during break so that Testudo was now on the outside, and the GPA went back up to pre-fenced-in levels.

Psychological? Yes. But something to think about when rubbing a statue for luck.
