I wonder what would happen if somebody sees the face of Jesus in a dildo, what would that mean?

It’s clearly that portly, pushy guy from ST:TOS “Journey to Babel” — the one who pestered Sarek with “No, you! How do you vote?” before Sarek literally got pushy and threw him against the wall. You know, one of the race that are always feuding with the blue-skinned Andorians.

Oh man, I find this pareidolia thing a lot biased towards Jesus. I mean, I’m long-haired and bearded and nobody thinks I appeared on their windows and such. It’s so unfair!

I bet 10 bucks that in 2 thousand years there will be people claiming Obama is making an appearance on their whatever-they-will-have-in-two-thousand-years.

Wrong deity – it’s Zeus (from Planet of the Apes).

It looks more like my dog who was sent to the big dog park in the sky last year. (brushing aside tear) Oh, wait. He’s found a way to get a message back to me! He imprinted his face on a banana, purchased by Lisa Swinton, who mistakenly interpreted the picture as “Jesus”, and reported the finding to the Daily Telegraph, which was picked up by BA (he knows I’m a BA regular). My dog works in mysterious ways.

I hear you, Koosh! You’re such a good dog!!!

Bananas:

Good source of potassium*, not so good source of pareidolia woo.

If you put a NASA cap on it and glasses, it looks just like our host Dr Plait.
Does that mean Bananas are fans of “Death from the Skies”?

From the article that the picture links to:

‘‘One of my friends said they saw the Holy Mother on their bathroom door and another saw an apparition of Mary on the mould of their shower floor,’’ she said.

it’s important to support the banana guys and other freaks that say Jesus appears here and there… i think it plays against their credibility for the hold

I don’t recall who it is at the moment, but a regular usenet poster has in his sig: “The older you get, the better you get, unless you are a banana”.

“It definitely wasn’t that way when I bought it from [the store]…. ”

Actually, in context, she was suggesting that the banana was bruised by being placed under other fruit in the fruit bowl, not that Jesus came down and zapped his face onto the banana after she bought it.

I prefer this quote: “One of my friends said they saw the Holy Mother on their bathroom door and another saw an apparition of Mary on the mould of their shower floor.”

(N.B..THIS COMMENT IF AFTER EDITING).

Oh, so that’s how we do it nowadays; inserting the word “sarcasm” in between sarcastic comment, every time we write something in sarcastic mode…apparently, i get into a lot of unnecessary brawl because you’d be surprise how many people out there who don’t get irony. Thanx for the tip

Hey, another way to check out many divinity signs etc, is to observe one’s own stool. I tell my patients to go back and observe their stool for something else and they come back to me saying they see (or more precisely, imagined) their stool take on many prominent figure (I’m talking about human figure now, not the stool), Samy Veloo being the latest….

come to think of it, you can imagine divinity or whatever it is you want to imagine, just about anywhere, because at the end of the day, they are in your minds…it’s like looking at the clouds and let the imagination run wild
