Woman sees face of Jesus in drying sock

Sarah Crane, 38, said she was stunned when she saw a bearded man staring back at her from the laundry line.
Her boyfriend agreed the crumpled grey “holy sock” bore an uncanny likeness to the traditional image of Christ, and the couple took photographs to show their friends.
They even talked about creating a shrine to the sock but then the face was lost when they moved it.
Miss Crane, from Orpington, Kent, said: “I’d left the washing out to dry overnight – and it had probably been sitting there a bit too long when I noticed the face in the sock.
“I called my boyfriend over straight away – we could both clearly see the face of Jesus in the sock.
“There is a straight-on face, and a side profile too – we couldn’t believe it.
“I immediately took some pictures to show our family and friends – they all thought it was hilarious.
“We think it’s a bit of a sign – but for what we don’t know.
“We thought it would be good to make a little shrine for it – but unfortunately, when we moved it, the creases fell out a bit and the face isn’t quite as clear now.

I almost spat my tea out at this point. Monty Python couldn't write this stuff better. "All Hail the sock! We must follow the Holy Sock!" :grin:

Can someone help me out here - I can see E.T. but I can't see J.C. anywhere :scratch:

Oh got it I think. J.C. is bottom right.

E.T. is top centre.

Jesus is an ugly bastard, isn't he. Fuck, it even makes me feel good about myself, he's that ugly! It's a miracle.

I can attest that I personally have a number of holey socks.

It's amazing some of us actually managed to crawl out of the muddy water to take the first lungful of air.
Why do we carry these morons?

I wonder if all these images of a 14th century likeness of Jesus means that Jesus really wished he was born then? Why doesn't he want to be seen as he actually was? Not embarrassed by his looks or anything is he? Maybe ashamed to be so short, or dark skinned or something.

...and yet some people still claim there is no evidence for the existence of the Allmighty.

A video game reviewer ranted on Duke Nukem Forever once. The quote is actually about the game, but I feel it fits very well in many circumstances.
"It makes humans look bad. Dogs - actual canines - look at [it] and wonder why we're the one's wearing clothes. We shouldn't be! They should wear the pants. Take... Take off your pants now and give them to the first dog you see, because humans made [this] and we are now worse than animals." - Jim Sterling
