Italy’s New Swine-Flu Defense: High-Tech Holy Water Dispenser | Discoblog | Discover Magazine
"With a global pandemic afoot, the last thing many people want to do is put their hands in water that many other people have already touched, even if it happens to be holy water. But in Italy, where about 30 people have already died from swine flu, many Catholics will soon be able to get untainted holy water as part of church sacrament. Catholic churches around Italy are scrapping their traditional water fonts in favor of new automatic, motion-activated holy water dispensers invented by Luciano Marabese." - Eivind from Bookmarklet
How do they make holy water anyways? Is it blessed by a priest? How much chlorine is allowed? - David (slumrig)
