Why should Christianity have the corner market on religious imagery in food and vegetation? God sends his message to all. [via Fark, last link takes a minute. First post, hope it's okay]

How come in the old days, the lord would make himself known by big events --floods, locusts, smiting, burning bushes, etc? Now it is trees, tomatoes, Band-Aids and stains on windows.

The bloody band-aid of Kris Kristofferson! Only second to the Shroud of Turin! If ever there was an appropriate occassion for this expression this must be it: O M G !

Cthulhu once appeared to me on a plate of calamari. He was delicious.

Amberglow- no, I looked. This phenomenon seems to be localized to Christianity, and now Islam. I was sort of hoping to find Vishnu in a melon or something. Crash- *snort! tea spills everywhere*

i think maybe because we don't have a visual library of images to draw on...(although maybe I'll start a trend--"Hey, that wall looks just like the wailing wall!"--nope, too lame) *whining* other religions have all the fun! */whining*

I was sort of hoping to find Vishnu in a melon or something I once cut open a watermelon and found it totally empty. Does that count as a Buddhist miracle?

"I once cut open a watermelon and found it totally empty. Does that count as a Buddhist miracle?" It was foreshadowing.

Ahh... the joys of simulacra. The Fortean Times has been having fun with this for a few years now (their printed mag, at least). The Skeptic Journal has a nice little online page on this "phenom." Growing up, this thing twernt no big thing - we could do this ourselves on a partially cloudy summer day by sitting back on a hillside and playing a game of CloudCarving - stare at a cloud long enough and you can make it form shapes with your mind. Amazing! A miracle! And no, drugs weren't involved. "Wanna see God? Look up over there at that puffy number floating by... see him? Heh. Pretty good, eh?"

In other news: Several arabic writing tomatoes were arrested at a local DC grocer on Friday. John Ashcroft, in a special interview with the press, denoted these tomatoes as possible "enemy combatants" and stated that they are under questioning at an undisclosed location in Ashcroft's fridge. When questioned about the visible bruising on the fruit, Ashcroft stated it was "purely coincidental."

We took the lawyer's advice and quickly adopted and even trademarked two names: NunBun and Immaculate Confection. We continued to print the image of the bun with these new slogans and felt perfectly fine legally and morally about our actions. Heh. Immaculate Confection. Mmmm... yummmy miracle.

I can't find the link anywhere, but I swear I heard that someone saw Jesus in the crusted goo beneath a Pepsi machine in Mexico City.

I love how these images of someone who lived 2,000 years ago in the Middle East all look like Kris Kristofferson.

Several arabic writing tomatoes were arrested at a local DC grocer on Friday. John Ashcroft... denoted these tomatoes as possible "enemy combatants"... A baby tomato, following its mother, is lagging behind its siblings. Mother stomps on it: "Ketchup!" (Congratulations to offlinkey on a first post with minimal whinging from the gallery!)

Hey Smallberries, did you save it? I see t-shirts, maybe a tv movie, the works! We can call it the Mohel Miracle!
