Can you think of a snappy caption for this odd picture? Of course you can. You're a h2g2 Researcher.

This is Heinz Chapel. Yes, it's named for the ketchup man. He donated this chapel to Pittsburgh in memory of his mother. Yes, this genuine Gothic building is right behind the gigantic Cathedral of Learning, all 42 storeys of it. The chapel has gorgeous stained-glass windows that have 391 identifiable people in them, including Rousseau, Daniel Boone, and Beethoven.

Heinz Chapel is a popular wedding venue. In the early 1970s, the Maharishi held court on the altar once. Your Editor was there, and declined the offer of a blessed banana. (Too soon after supper.) Can you caption this oddly-placed miracle in stone? Let your imaginations run wild!
