What's a tabloid news-week without a case of religious pareidolia, complete with weeping onlookers?

Heh. I love it when people feel they have to justify themselves like this.

Looks more like the "grim reaper" to me. Guess that shows where my imagination wonders.

I think it looks like the Grim Reaper's vagina.

Me too. "I am not a cultist." "This is not spam." Et cetera.

Although, to be fair, you don't have to be whacko to see a resemblance to the archetypal Virgin Mary in tree bark. Thinking it *really is* the BVM, on the other hand, is pretty close.

Thanks, Mac. I now know what biscuit crumbs out the nose feel like, and it isn't pleasant.
