Of food and faith

^{Images lifted directly (and I mean directly) from BBC News}

Recently, another instance of someone 'seeing' the face of Jesus hit the news.  It's the latest in a long line of (mostly Christians) 'seeing' things in everyday objects.

For example:

'Face of Jesus' on hawthorn tree


Ghanaians flock to see 'miracle'


India marvels at 'miracle chapati'



Caravan park 'Christ' draws the faithful


I'm always puzzled as to why it's (mostly) Jesus that is the 'seen' image, and if not Jesus, it'll be something religious.  I figure it's because a) religious people are more likely to 'see' something that's important to them, and b) they're more likely to believe that 'seeing' something is significant (and not chance, nor the brains ability to 'see' faces in pretty much anything).

I can't help but wonder if, in a few years, the blind faith of any particular type of fanboi will result in more news stories of this type.  Perhaps now is the time to start setting up some of the greatest hoaxes of all time.  An Apple logo on a vegetarian burger patty?  The image of a Ferrari prancing horse in a Zebras marking? The face of Hans Solo within a slab of granite?
