'Our Lady of the Underpass' continues to draw crowds

Chicago Catholics with overactive imaginations continue to see the image of the Blessed Virgin on a salt and water stain adorning the wall of a Kennedy Expressway underpass.

I wonder: would it still be considered miraculous if it coincidentally resembled, say, Groucho Marx?

Brad Pitt?

Darth Vader?

Mayor Daley?

Given the brohaha over this wholly imaginary image, I also have to wonder what the response would have been if the stain actually had, objecively, borne the slightest resemblance to any of the above... as opposed, say, to your average salt and water stain on your average concrete wall!
