@Phil:

I don’t know if you saw it, but the Pope just ordered bishops of the Church to thoroughly investigate visions of Mary and Jesus in an effort to root out fraud. Hopefully this will help stem the recent pareidolia tide (tsunami?). Click my name for the story.

Uncle Al:

A capitalist would market a series of clad frypans and griddles... Do a taco or pancakes, get Jesus H. Christ...

Dr. Bitel may have missed the obvious fact that the Weekly World News probably maybe sorta Photoshopped that picture of the devil in clouds over DC.

Bat Boy will get you for that.

Vote with the stupid – how can so many people be wrong? A capitalist would market a series of clad frypans and griddles in which the lower thermal conductivity material had hidden bottom copper inserts. Do a taco or pancakes, get Jesus H. Christ, L. Ron Hubbard, or Bozo the Clown in every bite. One presumes Milton Friedman, Donald Rumsfeld, and Ben “BS” Bernanke will be disdained as false profits (no apologies!).
