Ardell--higher power on her side?
From today's WSJ:
I think I remember the listing: "***MANGR IN BACK--Cld easly be converted to xtra BR!!***" Wonder if it sold for list?Ardell DellaLoggia, a Seattle-area Realtor, buried a statue [of St. Joseph] beneath the "For Sale" sign on a property that she thought was overpriced. She didn't tell the owner until after it had sold. "He was an atheist," she explains. "But he thanked me."

Perhaps we can formally start the First Church of Christ, Realtor™.
Worship at The Bountiful Fount Of Real Estate!
"We've got to pay for marketing materials, color copies of flyers, new flowers for the yard, stamps, and, oh yeah, St. Joseph statues . . . "

No mention of pink ponies though. Me thinks its still top secret for Seattle only.

Anyone want to bet that Mozillo has a Saint Mathew statue buried in his backyard? See: http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=84
Any nominations for the patron saint of bubbleheads? Not surprisingly, the Church has not beatified a patron saint of skeptics.
Is that a picture of the flying spaghetti monster?
There's a flying spaghetti monster hovering over the earth (I think he's supposed to be invisible, but of course in the artists rendition he's visible). Some of the things he hovers over are trees, mountains, and midgets. If you don't believe my explanation is complete, follow the Noodley Goodness link for the wikipedia entry.
