The Virgin Vader

Dale in Ohio found a rock in his front yard in Chelsea, MI (?) and thought an image on it looked like the Virgin Mary. Or maybe Darth Vader. He says "I was so struck by the image I am not sure what to do." So of course he decided to put it up for sale on eBay, but not before admitting "I honestly am feeling guilty for listing this gift." So guilty he set the minimum bid at $1.00 and the shipping at a flat $50.00.

A Little Bit Of Jesus Right Here In Peru

Google's new satellite mapping shows what appears to be the image of Jesus near the coast of Peru. Hey, we couldn't make this up if we tried to do it with Photoshop. Check it out here.

Barking Up A Religious Tree

People in East Chicago, Indiana, have been flocking to see two trees, one which they say has an image of Jesus holding his hands together and looking down [see photo on left], while the tree next to it shows the Virgin Mary looking over at her son. The tree on the other side has plain bark. How boring.

Postscript: City officials have turned off the streetlight that's critical to seeing the image because residents complained about the traffic jam. And the large fight that broke out on Friday night.

Stone-faced

A rock-cutter from Mitchell, Oregon, sliced through some agate he found near an Indian burial ground and discovered what he says "looks to be an Angel or perhaps Jesus, Mother Mary, I don't know. But if you look close it's standing behind a throne that overlooks what appears to be a planet." Of course it's for sale on eBay, where he says, "I have seen faces on rocks before, but NEVER the whole picture with other devine (sic) objects, except for 'The Comforter,' which I also have listed." Of course.

Virgin Doorway

A door from the home of Roger Culver, Flatrock, Michigan, was burned two different times. The result is what he believes to be a scorched image the Blessed Virgin Mary. And a moneymaker on eBay. As a door it's expensive. As a previously unknown copy of Munch's The Scream, it's a steal.
