2008_12_05_statue.jpgWeird story out of Harvard, IL today. Skyler Hall, 21, has pleaded guilty to an April incident in which he beheaded the statues of Jesus and Joseph at St. Joseph Catholic Church using a lead pipe. He's been fined $500 and has to pay the church $7,185 to pay for the damages which also includes damage he did to a statue of the Virgin Mary. Beheading a statue of Jesus? That's rough.
