linked-image Never let it be said that the little indentations in the bottom of the feeties, aren't a quirky touch!



And personally, I don't even want to meet the person that has something about the bottom of their feet, that let them melt the impression of them, into a marble slab!

linked-image Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go shopping for John the Baptists hair, on Ebay! Right after I bid for the Lucifer's face in the toaster strudel.

On the wiki article to which you linked us:
QUOTE
The two footprints on a marble slab at the center of the church (copy of a relief conserved in the near basilica of San Sebastiano) would be the miraculous sign left by Jesus: it is actually a draft of an "ex voto" paid for the good outcome of a travel, what would confirm the supposition that some connection might link the two temples.

Are those relatives Ripley?

Yes it does look like a big foot print, but it is a nice carving job.

I'm from Michigan - home of burnt out Detroit and car jackings.

Nothing in the Wiki article to suggest that the foot prints are real.....in fact as Wombat pointed out from the link you gave:

it is actually a draft of an "ex voto" paid for the good outcome of a travel,

Definition of "ex voto"

An ex-voto is a votive offering to a saint or divinity. It is given in fulfilment of a vow (hence the Latin term, short for ex voto suscepto, "from the vow made") or in gratitude or devotion. Ex-votos are placed in a church or chapel where the worshipper seeks grace or wishes to give thanks. Shrines decorated with ex-votos are often the destinations of pilgrimages.

ALSO FROM WIKI

Verdict: Not real 'Footprints'

I don't think that quite comes across until one takes a sharpie and actually draws a face original.gif on the stomach of the pregnant Texas newlywed.no.gif

Lol.

I'm mexican myself, and if you are too, then I'm sorry you got offended.

It was a joke. Don't know if that whole "redneck wedding" picture was directed at me or not... so just clearing it up that I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else.

Just think it's kinda stupid that they removed it out of my signature because they said it was "racist".

Some of these mods need to just kick back and relax and not take everything up the ass.

It's a forum, mods. Not a work place or school grounds. Sheesh. Some of you take this whole mod thing too seriously.

If you have a problem with a moderator's actions, address them via the private message system, not within an ongoing discussion. How serious we appear to be shouldn't concern you, being openly critical should. Back to the topic now, if you please.

I'm just surprised you didn't give me another warning for using the word "ass" in my previous post.
Magikman
Oh, you got a warning, that should have been immediately realized. Obviously not, given your insistance to harp on an issue you've been asked to drop. That gets this thread closed. Keep pushing it, if you're curious as to what will happen next.
