It seems Jesus has decided to manifest himself on a pumpkin in the great Garden State. Unfortunately the idiots at NewJersey.com were too dumb to post a picture. Here's the story.

Why do some religious folks always seem to see god in their food?

I can't access it.

Why do some religious folks always seem to see god in their food?
It's when they puke it up again and their groaning, "oh, God" they realise that it must be holy.

Yeah...why is never in their feces? Or underarm hair? I don't get that.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Have a basic summary? Or will I have to make a jigsaw puzzle out of it?

If Jesus or Mary appeared in someone's feces would it be wrong to flush?

I think it would be a sin. The toilet bowl, and all of its contents should immediately be preserved and sold on E-Bay!

Pumpkin decoration appears to bear the face of Christ

It's a miracle!

At least that's what employees at a printing plant in Jersey City are saying about an imprint on a decorated pumpkin they say bears an eerie resemblance to the visage of Jesus Christ.

"My whole department, about 25 people, said it looks like the face of Jesus Christ," said Kathy St. Clair, a printing billing specialist for the company. "It's a sign that he (Jesus Christ) is in the midst of everything."

The pumpkin was decorated by St. Clair as part of a contest. St. Clair said she splattered it with yellow, green, red and blue wax paint, inspired by the horror movie "Hellraiser."

St. Clair lost the contest, which was held on Wednesday, but on Friday, co-workers began to notice that some settled wax on the gourd formed a likeness of Jesus Christ.

"I didn't paint any human form on the pumpkin," St. Clair said. "Initially I made an eye, then covered it up."

Asked about the possibility of Jesus Christ's face miraculously appearing on a pumpkin, James Goodness, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark said, "I don't recall ever hearing something along those lines."

St. Clair said she planned to keep her "Jesus-faced" pumpkin on display in her office a little while longer.

"I'm going to put it on eBay," she chuckled.

I wonder why they always assume it's Jesus or Mary instead of Martha Stewart or David Hasselhoff?

Yep. That seems quite fake.

Why not? If Martha can perform the miracle of transforming acorns into napkin rings, http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=channel184746&catid=cat20694&navLevel= shouldn't she get at least as much consideration as an unwed teen mother?

The publicity is greater?

I know she's a criminal and a social deviant...but the woman is a genius!

Everyone loves the Hasselhoff!

Are they dead like Elvis?

Wow good for Jesus, getting into the holiday spirit even when two thirds of the world out and out ignore him. ;)

So why is it that whenever jesus or the virgin mary appear on an item the person says they are going to auction it on Ebay?

Same reason wandering merchants used to sell bits of dead saints (or just random corpses purported to be saints) during the middle ages.

Would that be the "A prophet, not Christ" or "liar" style ignoring?

It made them feel smarter then the yuppies who bought them?

I once saw the perfect likeness of Jamie Farr on a potato chip, but I was hungry so I ate it:( in hindsight I should have checked to see if there was a market for it first. People love Jamie Farr right?!:p I could have been rich!!!!!!!!!!!

Because there are people dumb enough to pay big bucks for it.
How many thousands of dollars did that grilled cheese sandwich with mary on it go for?
I can not remember the exact amount but it was thousands.

I clicked on this thread thinking it would be about someone having the same halloween costume as me, I guess I'm happy its not.

Here's the costume as well...
