I know, I know, "I'm" going to burn because I find this so funny!
MONROE, Ohio – A six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ with his arms raised along a highway was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm Monday night and burned to the ground, police said.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze around 11:15 p.m., Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, 62 feet tall and 40 feet wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained early Tuesday.

Okay, you HAVE to laugh. Because that's just funny. If Jesus were here, I'm pretty sure he'd laugh, too!

Oh no! Not Touchdown Jesus! LOL! I agree, you just HAVE to laugh - and they're talking about rebuilding him...
