Some people have way too much time on their hands, and so they come up with a whole lot of cockamamie nonsense. And if those people happen to be of the religious ilk, that nonsense tends to be of astronomical proportions; hence this gaudy statue of the mythical Jesus. TGO

SWIEBODZIN, Poland – Workers have completed a giant statue of Jesus Christ in a small Polish town that its creators say ranks as the biggest in the world.
Hundreds of residents gathered to watch a towering crane lifting the crowned head onto the top of the statue in the town of Swiebodzin on Saturday.
The statue is the creation of a retired local priest, Rev. Sylwester Zawadzki. Many local residents and business people in Swiebodzin (shvee-eh-BOHD’-jeen) say they hope it will put their town of 22,000 on the map for Roman Catholic pilgrims and bring in money to their community.
The statue’s completion had been delayed by strong winds.
