Divine vegetation
Wonder why anyone would think a deity might choose to reveal themselves as a root or some type of stain or toast or whatever? Anyway. Here Jesus as an asparagus root.

Divine vegetation in tutor’s garden

A GARDENER had a revelation when he dug up his asparagus plant and saw the face of Jesus.
Martin Gregory was enjoying his Sunday morning gardening when he noticed something quite different about one of his asparagus ferns he removed from a pot.
As the 52-year-old laid the 30-inch plant on the grass the sun shone down on the roots and revealed the face of Jesus to him.
The part-time mosaic tutor said: "I thought Good gracious! It's the face of Jesus.

2. Of course it's Jesus!
He's always depicted as a white European, after all.

5. Jesus? It looks like Santa Claus
I guess its the same sort of thing that makes people see a face in a jumble of rocks on Mars. We are evolved to be darn good pattern recognizers.

14. I had the same question over the
fish store with a fish with "Allah" written on it a few weeks back, or the famous Allah-tomato from years ago, Christ-cloud from the National Inquirer from I don't remember when, or the most recent Islamic fish in East Africa, with a Qur'an verse near its anus.

Loons, all of them.
