I’m with Jack. I immediately thought Zig Zag.

Were the shells brought by African or Europen swallows?

Whatever they were, they were definitely laden, so you have to include that in your speed calculations.

11. toasterhead Says: “Why the automatic assumption that it’s a picture of Jesus? It could be any man with long hair and a beard.”

I thought it was the Zig-Zag guy.

I think that is John Lennon in the window. Maybe he is announcing a Come Back [From The Dead] Tour.

30. Shane Says: God was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains so I ate him. Was that in the Andes? Thanks to the others who came up with their own variations.... J/P=?

I think it was an old decal of of the Xian Zombie Lord that was removed, possibly, before this man purchased a used truck. The residue from the sticker, or the removal of some of the glass’s protective coating by the adhesive, left this image. I’ll give him the credit of being that stupid and credulous rather than assume he’s a liar, since people of this sort seem to think being stupid and credulous are positive attributes.

I wonder if this man’s faith is strong enough to ask for a lab to test the glass? HA! Nobody’s faith is ever THAT strong. It’s much easier to post the picture on the web, claim miracle, and sigh with relief as the ignorant cover you with “argumentum ad populam.”

I recall an old cartoon with a cop talking to a lady in a car. “I understand that God is your co-pilot, ma’am, but that still doesn’t qualify you to drive in the HOV lane.”
Sorry… forgot to say great post – can’t wait to read your next one!

I live in Johnson City and saw this headline in the local paper (front page!). Thank you for addressing it.

We also had a “manifestation” of Mary at the catholic church here years ago. She “appeared” as condensation on a window.

@JP: No, Satan is my bombardier. I’ve got Polaris navigating. Waist, turret and tail gunners are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Satan convinced them to leave the horses behind. No co-pilot — couldn’t find anyone to take this ride with me.

I always thought the Dead lyric “,,,I may be going to hell in a bucket babe, but at least I’m enjoying the ride,,,” would have made a good bumper sticker. Now I’m thinking that and the soap trick would be really disconcerting to someone following me, on a cold day.

Another thing: the guy claims that he won’t be washing his vehicle for a while; it wouldn’t really matter, because the image was drawn on the INSIDE of the window.

It’s a strange god who changes the race of his only son !
Oh there I go anthropomorphising again – God’s Prophet should be a meatball !

It looks like a surfer I know.
At least he doesn’t have his football gear on !

Maybe we shouldn’t be too hard on Mr. Stevens. He isn’t attributing the portrait to anything supernatural, but rather, seems to think it’s a cool mystery. I think we all know how the news media like to emphasize trivial (or even non-existent) parts of a story in order to sell their stuff. If anyone is up for ridicule, I think it’s The Associated Press.

Okay, gouge him a little for jumping to the conclusion that a picture of any random guy with a beard has gotta be Jebus. But the A.P. may have made that up, too.

Reminds me of the bumper sticker: God is my co-pilot.

I’ve considered an additional sticker to add to it: but Satan is navigating.

When I hear hoofbeats I think horses, not zebras.

I think coconut shells….

With perhaps a string tied to them so a couple of swallows could carry them?
