WORCESTER, MA—Nearly a week after a statue of the Virgin Mary began shedding what appeared to be actual tears, worshippers at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church told reporters Wednesday they had lost patience with the figure's nonstop whining and carrying on.

I saw this and couldn't help but think about one of those old Jack Handy "Deep Thoughts":

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

And:

"...thousands of faithful from around the world have converged on the church in hopes of getting a glimpse of Mary and her extraordinary appetite for drama. Day and night, visitors have been standing in lines a quarter of a mile long in order to witness the statue's breathtaking self-absorption firsthand."
