Sure sign the housing market is sinking fast? Droves of home sellers are now turning to religion, according to the Wall Street Journal -- specifically, burying statues of St. Joseph in their yards...in the hope this comfortably buried patron Saint of "home" will turn their unattended realtor open houses into happenings.

Sales of real estate sales kits containing St. Joseph statues are sky-rocketing. New online sites selling them are launching every day. And people of all religions are embracing the Saint in the desperate hope that their value-crashing houses might attract more attention than their neighbors' similar houses which haven't been "blessed" by this new super-powerful realtor's special friend.
