		<description>Clearly a fraud.  The top of the bread is torched because the hair in the image required more heat to create.   Of course, anyone who has ever used a toaster, and especially burned their toast, you will remember that you do not get an evenly toasted slice of bread with a torched top.</description>

		<description>[...]  Under ordinary circumstances, pareidolia provides a psychological explanation for many delusions based upon sense perception. For example, it explains many  UFO sightings, as well as the hearing of sinister  messages on records played backwards. Pareidolia explains Elvis, Bigfoot, and  Loch Ness Monster sightings. It explains numerous  religious  apparitions and visions. And it explains why some people see a face or a building in a photograph of the Cydonia region of Mars. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Obama&#8217;s intelligence is one that concertedly rejects the cult of the cowboy, one that disdains the notion of conviction as an unalloyed virtue. His retrospectively vindicated opposition to dumb war in the face of supposedly airtight evidence for launching it has proven a victory not just for Obama, but for the legitimacy of ambiguity itself as a space for positive thinking in the making of serious decisions by individuals and societies. With the discrediting of certitude undergirded by the hyperspecific comes the complementary embrace of an ineluctably abstract, indefinable hope—a hope we have espoused, often reluctantly, because the sober and steady hand of the man who has become its global symbol checks its pesky quixotism.

		<description>Hmmm.

&quot;If improvements in our standard of living were still allowed, this suggests a great new product–an imaging toaster. For starters it wouldn’t even have to be HD.&quot;

Or a food-based printer that could &quot;print out&quot; pancake batter or, better yet, jelly on toast.

&quot;I&#039;m feeling a little peckish.  I&#039;ll have  Sir Issac Newton on toast!&quot;</description>
