If the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich wasn't to your taste, how about the Virgin Mary
discovered in chocolate drippings? Cruz Jacinto discovered the Holy Mother in drippings she was cleaning from a vat of chocolate in the kitchens of chocolatier to the stars, Martucci Angiano.
I can sort of see the shape of a cowled figure, I suppose, but that's about it.
"When I come in, the first thing I do is look at the clock, but this time I didn't look at the clock. My eyes went directly to the chocolate," Jacinto said. "I thought, 'Am I the only one who can see this? I picked it up and I felt emotion just come over me.
"For me, it was a sign."
For me? Not so much.

GROSS
yikes
I don
the Malteaser Falcon!!!
Jacinto had better watch out, the 'Fat Man' and Joel Cairo will be paying him a visit any day now!
I was thinking owl
but I'll go with Falcon
All hail the Holy falcon!
... yeah, I see the Maltese Falcon too.
Most of these people are just trying to con believers--and a true believer shouldn't need their faith confirmed by pattern recognition in chocolate or or any other medium.
Someone should go Abraham on them and smash the idols (or, in this case) eat them.
There's even a song about this stuff, called "Plastic Jesus" or something and one of the lines is: "Doin' ninety I'm not wary, cuz I got my Virgin Mary gaurenteen' I won't go to Hell."
I'm not sure if that makes them more or less spiritual than most people, but it's certainly strange.
Did anyone else see Penn and Teller's Bullshit with the devout woman worshipping a pattern of knotholes and sworls in her bathroom door?
She is ... Our Lady of the Holy Cocoa!
I never ate a virgin. Damn! Always late!
Should I chase the Maltese Falcon, instead?
XOXOXOXOXO

Yeah, for me too--a sign of the human need to believe in nonsense.
Actually, I thought of an owl the first time I saw this, too. Maltese Falcon is good as well, though.
But it really is uncanny. Here's a photo of the prop for comparison.
