When the Pope hears about this, we can expect two "crucifixions" this week!

As far as your puns go, there's nun Warsaw than that one.

Don't get in the habit.

It was a scientific experiment, that went awry.

She was using Jim Beam & an old John Deere, to create a tractor beam.

It worked; it pulled her tractor straight into the parked car.

Waluch said the 45-year nun "was in no fit state to blow into a breathalyser" after the accident and police were waiting for the results of a blood-alcohol test before charging her.

was she drunk, or confused after suffering a concussion?

I have no doubt that there are nuns who are alcoholics, but this type of headline is not bassed on fact, but on conjecture. "too drunk for a breathalyzer"? that means she must have been near comatose or confused. And tractors don't have seat belts. falling off of a tractor --even in a fender bender --could easily cause a concussion and confusion.

So merely another anti catholic smear, with no proof in the matter, just an unproven accusation.

Here is a little riddle for all of you, dearly beloved fellow FReeper brothers and sisters,

Reuters has it "outside her convent in southwestern Polish town of Dzierzoniow."

AFP/Yahoo has the story "outside her convent at Krzeszow in southeast Poland."

So, which one is it? Or, did she have a drunken twin sister?

This most unusual, one-of-a-kind story miraculously disappeared from all main "news" sites. There is no follow-up, which is strange since the main news media outlets are not particularly known as pro-Catholic or even pro-Christian in general.
