Another person with an overactive imagination, sees 'image' of Jesus, inside the lid on a jar of Marmite.

The thing that really bugs me about these daft stories is this....

HTF DO THEY KNOW WHAT JESUS LOOKED LIKE?

Actually...I think, in this instance, they're right! ;0) LOL

Blimey, fancy Jesus liking Marmite!

If they really have such faith in him, why would he have to appear inside a lid of yeast spread? If they believe he is omnipotent, why wouldn't they *feel* his presence every day and not need such delusional *sitings?* With him able to do anything, I don't think he'd use such a siting, but what do I know? Reminds me of the piece of pizza which supposedly had his image. The woman who owned it had it tattooed above her breast! Ah, well, that's where they are at on their particular evolutionary ladder. To each his own.

They know what he looks like because they keep finding his picture, obviously :)

Jesus just left Chicago, and he's bound for New Orleans.

I know that old joke!

Teacher: "What are you drawing, Johnny?"

Johnny: "A picture of God."

Teacher: "But no one knows what God looks like."

Johnny: "They will when I'm finished."

IF it really was Jesus he'd have chosen Vegemite instead............

I once saw Jesus in a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, but I ate it anyway.

There's an old, storm damaged tree back in my home town of Quincy, IL that's got scars that look like Jesus. Or least people think so (he's supposed to be holding a lamb). If you were to go to the place that picture was taken, turn right and walk about 100 feet you'll stumble over the gravestone of my parents. Now, I remember when the branch on that tree was torn off in a windstorm and I've seen the scars every time I go there. Trust me, Jesus ain't there. But then, whatever rocks your boat....

Why come when anybody sees a human face in something, it's always Jesus or Mary? It's never Bob down the road, or Sue from the office. It's Jesus or it's Mary. As if they don't have enough to do than sit for portraits in peanut butter or mayonnaise stains.

Then again nobody's going to get in the national news if they claim to have a picture of Bob down the road on their English muffin.

Come to think of it, that might not be such a bad thing.

I don't know what my grandpa's dick looked like, so to me it would be just another gourd. You of course have had to lead your own path through life, and no blame to you.

Marmite was rather appropriate though.

You either love it or hate it.

Me? Never tried eating it and bemused by those who do.

It so happens that I bought a can of peanut butter earlier this year, and when I opened it, there it was plain as day....

Spaw's face in the peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was astounded. It was the undeniable image of Ohio's most famous layabout, wrought in ground up peanuts and whatever the hell else they put in that stuff.

I called up the papers and phoned the TV stations and all that sort of thing.

But nobody came.

It seems that nobody gives a damn about Spaw's face. They said, "You mean it's not Jesus? Or the Virgin Mary? Don't waste our time."

So last week I threw the damn thing out in the trash.

The real puzzle is Marmite itself...itseems to have a limitless shelf life, being virtually indistructible. No wonder it has been a HRM staple for multi generations.

What I see is more of a "Jerry Garcia" without the reademark glasses. Maybe he is sending a message, that he is looking after the music needs of "thegreat beyond"?

Enter "pareidolia" into Google's picture search and you'll find them all: the croc with God on its side, the Jesus tortilla, the Pope in a fire, Rasputin in a kitten's ear, a face on Mars, the nun bun,....

There are even people who claim to see a naked woman in this simple Drawing of Sigmund Freud

Re the Jesus tree link; in most of these others, as rediculous as they are, I can at least see how wishful thinking can make people see a vague semblance of Jesus as traditionally portrayed. But all I can get looking at the "Jesus tree" is Quasimodo, or Chewbacca, or maybe the Cowardly Lion, wrestling with a large weasel.

As a person from a very conservative Christian background, and who still attends church, I think national coverage of this sort of thing is one of the very most blatant examples of the media pandering to the lowest intellectual denominator.
