Cool Nun of the Day - The Spirit Moved Her - Dancing Nun Gets Reprimanded!

Dateline: Belgium - In the throes of ectasy, no less during World Youth Day and seemingly appropriate with a 'youth,' a young Belgian nun whilst dancing was apparently overcome by the Holy Spirit and held on to her dance partner with heels locked firmly in place! Just as we used to do in the swingin' '70s before hanging up our roach clips and psychedelic t's and entering the convent. Though 'the spirit' moved this sister those 'earthbound' mortals, such as, Mother Superior, saw otherwise - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9050471/

This was originally reported in Het Laatste Nieuws and though I couldn't find the picture of the Dancing Nun, I did find this interesting image that will just have to suffice and let's face it, is what the Mother Superior who reprimanded this nun thought might be the eventual outcome of her wild dancing - http://www.hln.be/hln/cch/det/art_113145.html

And is it any wonder that she is a... Belgian nun? No doubt one of the Trappist breweries was conveniently nearby. A good lesson for our youth because as W.C. Fields said, "The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive." At any rate, I'm going on CheapTickets.com to book the next flight over to Belgium. This poor dear will probably need some counseling. Viva la Trappists!
