Evidence that Islam makes you crazy.......

Before the Iranian revolution, in late 1978, a rumour swept the country that Khomeini's face could be seen in the full moon.

"Tears of joy were shed and huge quantities of sweets and fruits were consumed as millions of people jumped for joy, shouting 'I've seen the Imam in the moon.' The event was celebrated in thousands of mosques with mullahs reminding the faithful that a sure sign of the coming of the Mahdi was that the sun would rise in the West. Khomeini, representing the sun, was now in France and his face was shining in the moon like a sun. People were ready to swear on the Qur'an that they had seen Khomeini's face in the moon. Even the Tudeh Party [the party of "Scientific Socialism"] shared in the [enthusiasm]. Its paper Navid wrote: 'Our toiling masses, fighting against world-devouring imperialism headed by the blood-sucking United States, have seen the face of their beloved Imam and leader, Khomeini the Breaker of Idols, in the moon. A few pipsqueaks cannot deny what a whole nation has seen with its own eyes."

Something out of Monty python - "I have seen a sign".

There are also people who swear oaths that they've seen the sign of the Cross in the noon-day sun - usually shortly before they go blind.

Religious fervor will shape perceptions - this is nothing new.

If the Sun were to "rise" in the West, however, that WOULD be noteworthy.

The idolising of 'the Breaker of Idols' is ironic.

BTW, if we get a magnetic pole switch, so north is south & vice versa, presumably east & west switch too. So ...

Nope - magnetic polarity is not linked to rotational polarity, any more than it is linked directly to the rotational axis. North for the planet is based on the Sun, not just the current Earth magnetic field.

If the polarity switched we all just still call North, North. Up until Neburu wiped us out that is.

Drat! My evil plan would have worked if it wasn't for you pesky kids.

Did no one take a picture, I know this was pre cellphone days but you'd think someone would've grabbed their camera before rushing out to see this amazing phenomenon. I think even in 78 you could have got a pretty good shot. Imagine no one bothering to :scratch:

The fact that only idiots Muslims could see this IS evidence of the miracle. Don't you see?

Only the truly pious, righteous and good can see the emperor's fantastic new clothes imam's smiling face in the moon. Evil atheist people just see the moon don't you know and deserve to be stoned.

How foolish......
Only those with a truly good soul blessed by allah i.e :crazy:

can see the moon face, evil infidels see nothing. A camera has no soul therefore can't see the face.

It's not the mad old coot's face anyway - it's just the ("NASA verified") crack left after Mo made the moon split into two for a while.
