[Yes, you can blame eBay again.](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3952608833&indexURL=0&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting) > [@](#): > > This original photograph was discovered in Middletown, NY in the year 1986.It consists of a rooftop view the World Famous Aviator James J. Ward ([www.earlyaviators.com/eward.htm](http://www.earlyaviators.com/eward.htm)) as seen from the Times Building,which I believe is the now world famous Times Square Building, where the New Year’s Eve ball is dropped and has been for approx 100+ years.Imagine this in your NYC loft(wall size mural). Circa is approx. 1909-1917.This photo is part of aviation history. When one looks into this remarkable photograph you see a Curtiss Bi-plane being flown by Aviator ward. You see the people looking in amazement at the Bi-plane or are they LOOKING AT THE FACE OF JESUS IN THE CLOUD FORMATION AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TAIL END OF THE BI-PLANE!!! Or are they looking at the LARGE PICTURE OF THE CLOUDS FORMING A FACE CONSISTING OF 2 EYES, NOSE AND AND EYEBROWS WITH THE FACE OF JESUS IN THE FACE’S LEFT EYE ( TO YOUR RIGHT). Here’s hoping he gets no takers. ---

That’s the worst apparition of God manifest on Earth yet. I’ve pulled things out of my nose that look more like the Son of Man than those crappy clouds. In fact, if the Ebay religious icon market weren’t already so heavily saturated I’d be selling more convincing bogies. ---

I’ve put that one on my watch list; I want to keep track of how many suckers there are out there. Just in case I…uh…_discover_…some photos that prove conclusively that double-exposures…um, I mean, _ghosts_ really do exist. ---

Looks more like a house cat. And a peeved one too, since a biplane just flew out of its nose. ---

I’ll admit I can see the eyes (but probably only because they’re so clearly pointed out), but if that is god, he looks seriously pissed off. ---

> [@Lord Ashtar](#): > > I don’t see it. It just doesn’t look like JC to me. Wow! You’ve seen JC? :dubious: I think I vote with the cat or tiger people. Poor moggie. Hey, I wonder whether there are any photos of the cat _chasing_ the irritating little biplane that came out of its nose. This guy is asking for $75,000. Hahaha. Perhaps he could buy a book about punctuation and grammar. ---

If you have to draw a circle round it to show where the face is IT’S NOT MUCH OF A FACE! Anyway, why God? No-one knows what he looks like, it could be any sort of manifestation. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/75k-for-a-fuzzy-photo-of-god-i-dont-think-so/285107.md?page=2)
