James dean, james dean
I know just what you mean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen


Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the planet . . .

There was a lady in North Philly a few years ago. She had the Virgin Mary on her Zero king refrigerator. The light had to hit it a ceratin way . The faithful would come piling into the streets singing Ave Maria. I think she got a new refrigerator.

Gettin' ecstatic and kinda dramatic
And doin' the Vatican rag ! ! !

At first glance, what does it look like?
P (no, it's not a test.... )

(A Dali painting) a woman face?





Muhammed!!!!!

Good call! Dali thought it was something by Picasso.

While going through a number of photographs during the early 20th century the Spanish painter Salvador Dali came across a photograph which he thought was that of an unknown painting by Picasso, as it resembled a portrait done in cubist style.
Then Dali realized that it was in fact a photo of an African village. Dali then showed the photo to Andre Breton without telling him what it really was. Breton said it looked like the picture of Marquis de Sade.
The above painting is Dali's very close rendition of the original photo. It's been turned clockwise 90 degrees.

You still keep seeing the "face," don't you? That's normal. "Psychologists point out that once we see a particular image in the clouds or smoke, we often find it difficult to see anything else, even if we want to" (Schick & Vaughn, p. 37).

BEACHWOOD, Ohio -- A Beachwood man has found religion in his pancakes, Cleveland television station WEWS reported.

Mike Thompson was making pancakes last weekend for his family when the pattern on one of the flapjacks caught his eye.

Upon closer inspection, he saw what he thought was the face of Jesus. He showed his wife, and she agreed.

That's when the couple decided to do what anyone who discovers such an edible artifact does these days -- they put it up for sale on eBay.

"I think the grilled cheese sandwich sold for $28,000, and the pierogi sold for a couple of thousand, so I figured start it off on eBay for $500. It's a pretty good deal," Thompson said.

He is hoping it sells like hotcakes, but so far there have been no opening bids.

AHHHH!!!

That's what's going on inside myself every time I hear one of these stories.

Just thinking about the kind of people it takes to make this stuff seem even remotely plausible, it makes me scream:

AHHHH!!!

I'll continue rocking back and forth, now...
