Alex Cotton has contacted the Pope to ask him to bless the image, and the spokesman for the diocese seems impressed - but does anyone here really take this sort of thing seriously?
Alex said "God only knows why he chose my drainpipe to appear on, but I hope this won't mean floods of pilgrims flocking to my house after this."
The Sun's headline made me laugh - but maybe she should have thought about the pitfalls of becoming a bit of a celebrity before contacting the press!

Good grief! Your example, Whicker (hello, by the way), is bad enough (and your bidet suggestion is more appropriate) - but I can't see anything at all in your cloud, Eddie. I mean, seriously - are the people that see something in these things the 'full ticket?' (And it's likely the religious apologists will lambaste me for that - but if they feel their criticism is worthy, I'll justifably expect the onslaught to be accompanied by a rational explanation). In Jerusalem at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre one witnesses people weeping and wailing over a piece of stone (supposedly that upon which Christ's body lay in his tomb) - which, if given a moment's thought, clearly can't possibly be genuine. What on earth is going on in these people's heads?
It's a well documented phenomenon known as Pareidolia.

The ridiculous notion that religious messages or images appear in everyday items is excellently lampooned in this sketch...
