Klutz Sets Herself on Fire, Sues Church
Josefina Martin has climbed aboard the gravy train at her own religion's expense after managing to set herself on fire by kneeling too close to candles while praying at the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Pacoima, California.
Martin is seeking punitive damages from the archdiocese, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, Mary Immaculate Church, and the manufacturer of the skirt she was wearing. It looks like the Virgin Mary herself is off the hook.
Some enterprising lawyer is going to get the idea of suing the Church for acts of God, and make himself the next Breck Girl.
On a tip from Wiggins.

If I was the lawyer for the defense, Id go with the "Spontaneous Human Combustion" defense.
Ya know, sometimes people just burst into flames for no reason.

Whatever saint or diety she was praying to is certainly also at fault. And I'll bet they're loaded!
