Among those books the Qur’an doesn't seem to rank highly, or he would know that Jesus is a Prophet and Messenger of Allah in Islam.

Default Jesus appears in leaf

Mimi DiMauro was doing yard work with her family in the fall of 2007 when her 24-year-old daughter made a discovery that could be described as "beyond be-leaf."

That's not Jesus; that's a frowning John Lennon.

Hello Kitty Virgin Mary joins Jesus portrait

Another life-size portrait of a religious figure has mysteriously appeared in New Bedford.
Quote:
The portrait of Jesus with his eyes covered graces the outside wall of a video store under an I-195 overpass. Now he's not alone. A portrait of Virgin Mary stands with her hands over her ears, in what could possibly be a reference to the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."

Default Jesus appears in Kit Kat bar

FIRST it was images of the Virgin Mary appearing in a piece of cheese toast and a pretzel. Now Jesus Christ himself has apparently turned up in a Kit Kat bar.

Either it's a Photoshop mixing a Kit Kat and the Shroud of Turin, or that chocolate bar is *really* old.

or:

Kit-Kat Jesus looks a little bit like Brian Blessed.

Being addicted to Unbeatable Banzuke, I'll now be on the lookout for a Jesus-stylee Banzuke Brian simulacrum of a breakfast time so I do one of his catchphrases:

'OHHHH!!!! HE'S TOAST!!!!!!!'

Roll eyes 'Hand of God' rock being sold on eBay

A man in northern Idaho says he has seen a massive hand of God in his life, and he is willing to share it with the highest bidder.

Paul Grayhek, 52, listed the rock formation he dubbed the "Hand of God Rock Wall" on the online auction Web site eBay. The highest bid was $250 early Sunday, with three days left to go in the auction.

I know God is said to be somewhat heavy-handed, but rocky-handed???

Awesome! I didn't know they had added another painting to the Jesus painting! When we first heard about the Jesus one, people were wondering what dark meaning it meant, him covering his eyes. I said, "Maybe he's playing Hide & Seek with the neighborhood kids."

In regards to the Hand of God rock wall, as kids we went tobogganning down one yard that had a hill. I mean, the entire neighborhood's kids would tobaggan down it. (The owner was cool, she had kids and knew primo sledding property when she lived on it.) Before you reached the house, there's a fork in the road. I always said, "Turn right at the Devil's Hands." The Devil's hands were my name for two trees that grew oddly crooked and with a little imagination or mescaline, look like claws coming out of the ground.

Now if only I can convince the family to move from that corner, so I can sell it to a nice Goth couple.

Icon215 Diners report seeing Virgin Mary in food griddle

The hottest thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days isn't the food. It's the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that a cook says she saw in the griddle.

Come on, they're nothing alike - Che Guevara's looking in completely the opposite direction. When have you ever seen Che looking to the right? I ask you.
