Hundreds of believers have been flocking to Rathkeale, Co. Limerick to pray and light candles following the discovery of what some claim to be an image of the Virgin Mary in a tree stump. Their devotion may prove to be in vein however as one of Ireland's top scientific minds claimed this morning that the image may be that of recently deceased reality TV star Jade Goody.
When pressed as to whether he thought the stump bore even a passing resemblance to the Blessed Virgin, Dr Albert Scire from 'Irish Scientist' magazine made the shocking revelation; "... it's about as bloody likely to be Jade Goody..." he said before chasing us out of his garden.
Residents of Rathkeale are said to be shocked by the scientists claims. One woman described the mood in the town as "emotional" but stated that she is determined to sell her worthless trinkets and memorabilia to visitors none the less; "It's queer handsome whoever it is..."
Meanwhile hundreds of fans of the reality TV star have begun to flock to the site prompting fears that there may be a standoff between both sets of crazies.
"We was gonna give jade a doughnut" said Katie Thompson an overweight & inappropriately dressed fifteen year old from Essex. Despite being prevented from doing so, Katie and other fans of Jade have begun to congregate in the South-West corner of the Church grounds and are said to be planning an attack.
"It's only a tree" said local parish priest Father Willie Russell as he called for calm. However some commentators claim that the priest may have lost credibility following a failure to turn a cup of wafers into Jesus at a magic show the previous Sunday.
Channel 4 have announced plans to document the life of the "Stump" for an upcoming television series.
