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.

    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.
