...as the last Virgin Mary sighting in a bird turd smear on a pickup truck.
At least this time around, we're back to more conventional "Virgin Mary in a tree"-type sightings:

Of course, this time around, I have to wonder if the guy who cut the tree down is having a little fun with the faithful.

Alright, I'm officially tired of the latest Age of Autism outrage. So, while I wait for J.B. Handley to strike back (or not), let's move on to lighter subjects for a moment. And what better to cleanse the palate of the vision of cannibals eating babies as a metaphor for those who standup for…
We've had a good time in the past few last weeks, identifying unknown sequences and learning our way around a GenBank nucleotide record. To some people, it seems that this is all there is to doing digital biology. They would, of course, be wrong.
We can do much, much more than identifying DNA…
As you'll know if you're familiar with the literature on the Loch Ness monster - and as you won't if you're not - Nessie is not only seen in the water; there are, in fact, quite a few claimed sightings that were made on land. The most interesting thing about these accounts is that they're…

Cleavage.....Oh, was there a tree in the picture?
It just looks like a lump of wood with a vaguely humanoid outline on it to me. I suppose that the people who think they can see a specific person would tell me it's from a lack of faith, or something equally stupid.
If the Virgin Mary is in a tree stump, but the tree is cut so that no-one ever sees her, is she still there?
<3 my country...
Meh, that looks more like my aunt Betty than the virgin Mary. The important question now is, what is my aunt doing in that tree?
Mitchell and Webb do pareidolia.
A must see.

I don't think you CAN have too much fun with the faithful. It's one thing to tease your dog, because the dog doesn't know any better. But with PEOPLE...they're voluntarily walking into it.
Venus rising from the waves?
I have a chopping block that bleeds for a week every month; now I know why!
Looks like a Peruvian prince's petrified pecker.
