Amazon 7 #1 June 30, 2011 Divine or just a vine? Kudzu believed to resemble Jesus Man opts against using herbicide on the weed: 'You can't spray Jesus with Roundup' KINSTON, N.C. — The Gospel of John quotes Jesus as saying "I am the true vine," and some folks in eastern North Carolina think they may have witnessed a literal demonstration. A utility pole about a mile south of Kinston has attracted attention in the last week or so from people who say the kudzu clinging to it resembles the image of Jesus on the cross. Kent Hardison goes by the pole every day on his way to work at Ma's Hotdog House, about a 90-minute drive east of Raleigh. His first reaction, common here when it comes to kudzu, was to blast it with Roundup herbicide. But then he had second thoughts, according to The Free Press of Kinston. "I glanced at it, and it looks like Jesus," Hardison said. "I thought, 'You can't spray Jesus with Roundup.'" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D22369 0 #5 June 30, 2011 thats funny shit right there, we had the nutz out in force a few years ago here in Yakima about the DOT signs having the image of the virgin mary on the backside, amused me to no end to drive past their candlelight vigils "I glanced at it, and it looks like Jesus," Hardison said. "I thought, 'You can't spray Jesus with Roundup.'" *** if its a real sign from god then wouldnt it come back from the dead? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

SpeedRacer 1 #10 June 30, 2011 Maybe the Monsanto Corporation could make a genetically modified kudzu-Jesus that would be resistant to Roundup. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idrankwhat 0 #16 June 30, 2011 I think Kent was working with some different weed before he went to tackle the kudzu. Must have shared it with the associated press reporter too. Looks more like Excalibur to me after some moistened bint lobbed it at someone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
