Is it me?

Or does the devil look like a kitten in a Halloween costume?

Now I know why my cats are evil and pee on my couch.

Ah yes, our good friend Richard Hoagland. I’m glad to see he has something else to occupy his time now that the “Mars Face” myth has been thoroughly and totally trashed.

Ok, guys thanks for getting those links up.

**Coldfire** , I really do apologize for my earlier statement, please forgive me. I was the dick head.

It could be a coincidence, but the explosions are even positioned at a similar height…interesting!

Can’t wait to see that “devil” pic on the cover of the Weekly World News next week.

According to the Print Edition of the Dayton Daily news, the AP stated that the “devel” photo was a real not retouched photo. They added that many things can be “seen” in smoke and clouds, just by the nature of winds etc… I’ve been unable to locate an AP link.

Just a note:

By Sue Zeidler

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Striking a macabre note, a new album cover by hip-hop band The Coup – whose music has a strong anti-capitalist bent – had until recently depicted the World Trade Center exploding, the band’s label said on Wednesday.

“We changed the artwork as soon as we saw what had happened,” said Daria Kelly, director of sales for 75 Ark, the band’s label…

Please go on.

p.s. Before I read the caption, I thought it was a kitty-cat in the smoke/dust cloud too.

Here is the link to the AP photo in which you can clearly see the face of Satan. AP swears that it is not a retouched picture. I’m normally pretty cynical about such things, but this picture really does give me a serious case of the creeps.

Frankly, I see the face, but I think he looks like he’s sleepy and sick more than evil…

I see a face—looks like Leonard Nimoy to me, rather than Satan, but then maybe my meds are in the therapeutic range today.

Obviously, Leonard Nimoy is the devil.

The WTC was bombed in '93. Not nearly as serious as this attack (for instance, in '93, the things didn’t fall down, obviously). I think Handy’s point - in his Handy-ish, roundabout, never-directly-related-to-anything way - was that the notion of blowing up the WTC isn’t exactly new.

Ok, so the AP has TWO different pictures of two DIFFERENT devils, one that looks like Lenord Nimoy constipated and one that looks like a kitten, and they haven’t touched ANY of them up? Listen, I think I saw a devil in a cloud two weeks ago, but I didn’t think that it’s “malignant face” was looking at me. I thought it was a cloud.

And on an un-related note, Spoofe: great handy-to-English translation.

Yeah, there was at least an hour of smoke. I could probably find a lot of things if I wanted to. I shoud pore over the videos and look for signs of bin Laden…
