Coffee Stain Christ
Four years ago Sam Marinos had a cup of coffee with his wife. When he was done he turned the cup upside down to allow the grounds to run down the side of the cup -- which is some kind of tradition in his family. He was then "stunned" to see that the grounds had formed what looked to him like the face of Jesus. He's now considering selling the Jesus cup on eBay.
Drywall Jesus
Omar Craddock was doing some work in a client's kitchen when he spotted the image of a face in the drywall mud on an unfinished wall. He immediately thought: Jesus! His brother-in-law, who was with him, is remaining more skeptical, refusing to put a name to the image. But both agree that "For drywall finishing this was a pretty exciting day."
Virgin Mary Grape
Becky Ginn was about to throw away some rotten grapes, but before she did she turned one over and thought, "oh that looks like the Virgin Mary." The grape is now preserved in her freezer. She insists that she has no intention of trivializing the experience. I assume this means she won't be selling it on eBay.
Oyster Shell Jesus
An Orlando woman, while walking down the beach, found an oyster shell that appears to show the face of Jesus. She also found a shell showing the Virgin Mary. "The woman claimed she has had nothing but good luck since finding the shells." I'm not sure if the thumbnail shows the Jesus or Virgin Mary shell, because I can't make out anything in it.
Water Stain Jesus
Seen at a One Stop Body Shoppe in Arkansas City, Kansas. According to the manager: "A client was laying here looking up and told me, Michelle, you have Jesus on your ceiling. I just kind of looked at her, and she said you do, Jesus on the ceiling." The water-stained ceiling tile may soon be headed to eBay.

OR people are very frightened of the world they see around them and desperately want to see signs that God is going to save them from the scary stuff.
You pick.
The next one down is a bit freaky, kinda Orson Welles or Marlon Brando like.
The last one looks like a sh!t stain.

Of course for the first 600 some years of Christian history Jesus was portrayed as a beardless young man with curly hair. For example:
or
You'd think such a conservative religion would know its own history.

It's just a stain.
And that cup looks more like Osama Bin Laden, not Jesus.
OMG. Osama is Jesus!
Compare:
The drywall, I'll go with Marlon Brando, since it is in a kitchen, and Brando was fond of the food.
The grape, looks like somebody needs TP?
The oyster shell, C'thulu!
And the ceiling tile? Seen that a thousand times. It's a leak, fix your roof!
The grape is probably one of the better examples of pareidolia that I can remember seeing, not that it looks at all like any particular person to me. But it does look like a fairly detailed humanoid image.
I don't see anything humanoid in the last two, though.
The second looks like David Crosby.
The third just looks like something off the cover of a Led Zeppelin album.
Number four looks like Luke Skywalker as a young child.
And finally, the fifth looks like a water stain. Nothing more, just a water stain.
