Some odd news from the nation's favourite English paper today:
A human-shaped shadow in the middle of a rainbow halo appears on Zushan Mountain after a heavy rainfall in Qinhuangdao, North China's Heibei Province, July 1, 2007. The vision, which many tourists believed to be the Buddha, stayed for more than an hour.
Meanwhile, it seems a revered shrine in Henan that has attracted 40,000 pilgrims annually on news of Marian apparitions may be torn down for "illegal religious activity". Hmm.

Totally bogus. Whoever snapped the picture was standing atop a mountain with the sun directly behind him/her, or there was a rock casting a shadow on the mist below. I believe in God and all, but this is BS.
There's commentary on the destruction of that Marian shrine in Henan, over here:
