Three nuns purchase insurance in case they give birth to Christ. Yeah go ahead and read that again, I will wait.

Insurers have withdrawn the cover on their virginity taken out by three sisters in the event of the second coming of Christ.

Essex-based Britishinsurance.com confirmed it had provided the £1m policy, but said it was reviewed on Thursday following complaints.

The firm said the women from Inverness had renewed the policy since 2000.

The burden of proof that it was Christ had rested with the women and any premium on the insurance was donated to charity, said Mr Burgess.

The siblings had paid £100 annually since 2000. If they had secured a payout, they stood to receive £1m.

So they took out a policy so that they would have enough money to keep Jesus in diapers and formula? You would think that there would be a line around the block of people clammering to give Jesus a new binky. Wouldn't you?

You know just when I think that I have heard the dumbest story about people ever, something like this comes up.
