People flock to see Virgin Mary in foggy window. Are people really this stupid?

Okay, I almost said something since I’m a huge Gilda Radner fan and I knew she was named after the Rita Hayworth movie, but I kept thinking “Well, maybe she did another film called ‘Hilda’.”

It’s been a long week.

Cool! It’s like a giant-sized inkblot test. Hmmm…well, it looks like a Ringwraith or maybe a Dementor to me.

What does that say about me, I wonder?

Silly people.

The proof is in the pudding.

Holy shit that was a funny post.

Reminds me of this:

Just take a look at that accidentally burnt bread…

That “Jesus” thing on the bread - it looks more like an example of malignant melanoma.

People are such idiots.

That would be this. Oy vey, did that cause problems when it was discovered. It had apparently been there for some time, but was hidden behind a palm tree. Then they cut the tree down, and Hallelujah!! It’s a miracle. What’s a miracle is that the 50,000 people a day who came to see it weren’t run over in the middle of the street where they had to stand to see it.

There’s a place around here where a lady saw Jesus on a pancake. She has it under glass. You can visit the pancake. I have done so. Jesus, is, indeed, visible upon the pancake – it wasn’t photoshopped or anything, but a real, live pancake under glass. With Jesus on it. I took pictures. I nodded solemnly. I snickered on the way home. It was a good use of an afternoon.

Its not everyday you see Jesus on a pancake.

Looks like the killer from Scream with a huge ear tumor.

… and I’m stretching for that. Truthfully … it don’t look like a fucking thing to me.

Well, it is the Virgin Mary, after all…

:smack:

He looks like the guy from Scream with a parasitic conjoined fetus attached to him…

It looks like Hamlet holding Yorick’s skull.

Cervaise, you know you are gonna burn in hell for that one. :smiley: Especially since your coding was not immaculately conceived.

I see a hooded black figure holding a cocker spaniel puppy.

It does kind of look like a robed figure to me, with a duck or dachsund looking up at it and a crash test dummy lying at the figure’s feet. In fact, it almost looks like she’s holding a terrier, or a cocker spaniel.

Seriously though, I can see why they thought it was her. It does really look like a robed figure, especially if you were looking for it beforehand, but even without foreknowledge the contrast draws the figure’s outline. I suppose it’s just a good example of how people’s cultural experiences craft their perceptions.

(on preview, I see another reference to the cocker spaniel puppy, so I guess I’m not as crazy as I thought :wink: )

Where in the Bible is the Virgin Mary described as being a vague robed figure, let alone the ONLY vague robed figure? :slight_smile:

I thought Jesus was The Robed One

Robespierre?

This is nothin’. I’ve had a no-window-no-aisle seat reserved for years.

If jesus is held in her arms, is Jesus an Octorok?
