What would Jesus do if he had some free time – maybe cure a disease, end a war, or feed the starving – but nah, everyone sees that coming. Why not shock them to the core – burn your face on a Walmart receipt! Τουλάχιστον, that’s what a couple in South Carolina believe to have found, Caladium seguinum 5C Walmart receipt with Jesus’s face on it. This isn’t exactly new or exciting, humans have a wonderful ability to recognize a face in just about anything. Jesus and other characters “appear” on random things all the time, and even in 2005 a shrine was built to the Virgin Mary around a water stain in a Chicago underpass.
Pareidolia anyone? Πραγματικά, that face looks pretty convincing, I’m not too sure this wasn’t just faked or “enhanced”. The closeups even look like there are fingerprints all over it. Since I don’t have a walmart anywhere near me or a walmart receipt on hand I can’t determine how sensitive the paper is and how easy it would have been to do – but how long do you think before it shows up on ebay? Σε κάθε περίπτωση, it looks much more like James Randi to me than Jesus (at least we actually know what Randi looks like!).

I vote for Che Guevara.
It’s a very asymmetrical face. If you cover the left half, it’s a dead ringer for Ben Kingsley. Cover the right half and it’s Charles Manson. Love child, μπορεί?
Manson is a good one! I was thinking Rasputin for a bit…
But don’t the teeth kind of look like fangs? I was thinking Barnabas Collins from the old Dark Shadows series.
It looks very much like a reverse of Abe Lincoln from a 5$ American bill …. Add a little sweat from a pocket, maybe some sunlight and I would say you have a thermal transfer of some sort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_five_dollar_bill.jpg
BTW – nice site!
Ουάου, now that you point it out to me that seems like the most reasonable answer, thanks for the comment!
