Wall Stain

The Virgin Mary now decided to show up on a water stain of some stone wall in New Mexico. The article mentions it as an image of the "Virgin of Guadalupe" which according to Wikipedia is a famous apparition of Mary. Apparently it's actually just a portrayal of Mary that is said to have just "miraculously" appeared, which is unfortunate because I was hoping this would be the first known instance of pareidolia of pareidolia.

Church Wall

Mary makes a rare appearance in an actual church, showing up in some sort of stain on a wall. The article mentions how some people think it looks like Jesus instead, making this a classic example of people being determined to see something in any even vaguely humanoid shape.

Bird Droppings

Continuing the tradition of any vague oval shape being able to be identified as something, Mary has made herself appear in some bird droppings. Which leads to the question of just what Mary is into. Maybe God left her a virgin because he wasn't into that sort of thing.

Griddle

Welcome to the new Stuff That Looks Like Jesus website! Now that we're back up and rolling on our brand new website, I will be back with more regular updates.

In this update, the Virgin Mary herself appeared in a restaurant's griddle.

The restaurant's general manager Brenda Martinez told Associated Press that, after local churchman Rev. Gerardo Fernandez confirmed the image was a true likeness of the Virgin, more than 100 people flocked to restaurant to view it.

A reverend confirmed that the image was truly Mary? Well I'm convinced.

Among the onlookers was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers in town for an exhibition.

Good to know?

Grape

The mother/wife/virgin mistress of God has now appeared on a grape.

Ms. Ginn said she is thinking about trying to sell the grape on eBay, where others have sold food reincarnations of religious figures. Any profit would go to her church, Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, she said.

She said she has no intention of trivializing the experience.

"I'm all for showing that God sometimes does have a sense of humor," she said.

Even though she sees no deep meaning in the grape, it was still obviously caused by the Lord. At least, as soon as she can make a profit.

Flesh wound

A man suffered a motorcycle accident and Mary decided to appear in his wound.

Lipton said he believes the Virgin Mary protected him from further injury when the motorcycle slid out from underneath him.

Why doesn't Mary deign to protect all the accident victims who are killed every day? Actually, they're probably all heathens.

Shell

A woman in Florida says she found Jesus and Mary on some shells.

She said she was walking down the beach when she found the oyster shell that shows the face of Jesus. On her walk back home, she said she found another smaller shell with the virgin Mary holding a baby Jesus.

The woman claimed she has had nothing but good luck since finding the shells.

There is also a survey on the article asking if you can see Jesus, and 35/137 people said "yes."

Another tree stump

Jesus's mom shows up again, this time in a tree.

And this tree Mary is a blessing on the area.

Moreau, an 18-year superintendent of a downtown condo building, said he did a double-take.

"At first I thought I was seeing things," he said. "Then I went and got my mother-in-law to tell her. She was overwhelmed by it. She was crying."

What's more, Moreau's mom-in-law, who is in her 70s and lives with the Moreaus, last week received test results showing that her lymph node cancer appears to have been cleared.

Even for this blog, that is mind-numbingly stupid. But anyway, there's something the person who originally saw Mary would like to clear up.

"I'm not a wacko," Moreau said yesterday, adding he was stone-cold sober.

Grilled cheese

As promised, the famous Virgin Mary grilled cheese sammich.

The woman who made the sammich took a bite after it and then noticed it bore the image of Mary (who appears to be sporting a nice Hitler mustache). Then she kept it for TEN YEARS before selling it for a ridiculous amount of money to a casino.

A woman who said her 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bore the image of the Virgin Mary will be getting a lot more bread after the item sold for $28,000 on eBay.

Duyser said she took a bite after making the sandwich 10 years ago and saw a face staring back at her. She put the sandwich in a clear plastic box with cotton balls and kept it on her night stand. She said the sandwich has never sprouted a spore of mold.

Of course not. Mold cannot destroy the almighty mom of God/son of God/whatever!

Lemon

Something maybe somewhat resembling the Virgin Mary shows up in a lemon, but it could also maybe somewhat look like a bunch of other people. Go figure.

According to the article:

"Some people say it looked like Mother Teresa or Virgin Mary," Nance said. "Some people say it looked like the Mona Lisa picture and some people say it looked like Nicole Kidman."

Me? I see Godzilla.
