While reading a story (on cnn.com) about the deplorable theft of an icon from a Greek monastery, I couldn't help but notice the unintentionally hilarious final sentence.

The stolen artwork was one of several famous religious icons in Greece, where offerings or votive gifts are left by worshippers who pray for recovery from illness or successful conception, or make other prayers.

(Emphasis added.)

I'll leave you, dear reader, to ponder the multiple meanings of that sentence.
