The face in the flower stem

A local guy is pictured in today's Austin American-Stateman, next to his flower stem in which he sees the face of Jesus. Apparently some people do see it and some don't. I don't. I did like the one comment where someone saw Kris Kristopherson.

I vaguely remember some nights in the 70s staring at static swirlies on TV long after sign-off and seeing faces. But perhaps it was the late, late hour, or something.

The flower is reported to be offered on E-Bay for $5000. Better hurry, though, with wilt and all. If it doesn't wilt, well, then, maybe the miraculous IS at work. Or holy varnish, batman!

This could open a whole industry: Faces in Places. Think what a monster bucket of popcorn would bring - whole populations of gargoyles and popeyes.

What's next? A robin's egg with Robin William's face? Gomer Pile in a rug?

This is a job for the truly paranoid - you know - they're LOOKING AT YOU!!!
