Here are two more curious auctions on eBay (people keep sending me this stuff... probably because I keep posting about it). The first is a
tortilla shaped like the state of Texas (item# 5557639562). The auctioner swears that "I have not cut it, clipped it, chewed it or changed it in any way. What you see is what came out of the bag." And I've got to hand it to him. It really does look like Texas. The current bid is only $1.99.
What you're supposed to see in the other auction, however, isn't anywhere near as obvious, but the current bid on this is $3,100. It's supposed to be a
photograph of 'The Face of the Lord' as seen in a cloud (item# 5557053951). The photo was taken 31 years ago. I think I can see some kind of face-like features in the cloud, but as one person has already commented on the auction, 'What if it's the devil?' I wonder if it would fetch even more money if it were a demonic photo.

But the first thought in my head was 'Photoshop'.

Here's what we should do: post as many stupid "Face of God/Jesus/Satan" auction items as possible on eBay until the novelty wears off and therefore the price drops to the point where it isn't worth the time to put them up for bid anymore. It's apparently the only way to rid the world of these abominations. Gentlemen, start your browsers!
Also, making tortilla chips at home isn't so hard if you've a FryDaddy. Cutting a tortilla into the shape of Texas and frying it wouldn't be much of a challange.
Lame auction.
That or placing an item which I'd claim wasn't haunted in any way whatsoever.
I'll bet about 85% of all hoseholds in south / central Texas have these in their pantry.
Busted.
See it? The eye is in the dark spot, the broad reptilian mouth in the light spot right below it? Praise Gamera, Mothra, and the Holy Twins!
As for the cloud, people look for recognizable shapes and patterns in things. Clouds especially.

Um, isn't that what an awful lot of people are already doing?
I can see a happy little doggy with a bone in it's mouth on the far right of the cloud (near the top)
I see what appears to be a group of skateboarders in the bottom left.
I see the eye of an eagle in the centre (that darkened area) complete with the nose but stopping before the beak
I see the mouth of a snake just below the eye
I see the top of a head of a neanderthal just above the eye stetching across the pic, this might be a cat as the nose is very cat like
I can see a womans face in the top left of the pic
complete with an eyebrow over her left eye, though the eye itself seems to be covered by the blacker cloud
I see a vaguely human figure with a halo around it's head (jesus) eith waterskining or surfing
just up and right of the eye
I can see the head of a wolf with an elogated snout (the gap between the big cloud and the smaller one in the the bottom right)
I see a mad axe wielding mysoganist chasing a naked woman down a busy high street with a large number of onlookers doing nothing to help
Okay only joking about the last one, but all any of this took was a little bit of imagination and perhaps a slightly sick mind.
Cheers...by the way I have an apple I bit into......
