Underpass Mary, Pope Toast, and Babe Ruth Cookie

Today's 'Faces Seen in Stuff' are:

1. Underpass Mary. A salt stain on the wall of an underpass in Chicago looks to many like an image of the Virgin Mary. (via Boing Boing)

2. Pope Toast: "Before we even turned on the news or opened the paper this morning, we knew that the Vatican had chosen a new pope. How? Well, as we were making toast for our breakfast, a puff of white smoke issued from the toaster. Then we were amazed to find what was surely a sign from on high: a piece of toast emblazoned with the unmistakable image of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the new Pope Benedict XVI." (submitted by frup)

3. Babe Ruth Cookie. A cookie on eBay that supposedly bears the image of Babe Ruth. To be honest, I can't see the face in this one at all.

Don't see anything in the cookie, but the toast looks more like Einstein.....

Wonder if the cookie is actually supposed to be a figure. I can sorta make out a humanoid figure standing on one leg.

I had a photograph taken once
The image on the result looks just like me
I wonder if that makes me some kind of deity!

Where's Babe Ruth?? I don't see nothin' but chips.
The other two, at least you can see something. This phenomonon is getting out of hand, don't you think?

The cookie looks like a cookie.
I'm too lazy to sign up for the Virgin Mary one.

The underpass image looks more like an elongated ghost from "Pacman" to me, and the toast image looks like a puppy. Considering all that, I skipped the cookie (I'm on a diet).

Howzabout: Underpants Mary- the likeness of Jesus's Mom in a stain on a pair of (you get the idea) Pope Toast- with Eggs Benedict? Babe Ruth Cookies and Mickey Mantle Milk (hold him down- squeeeeze-mmm mmm good. Tastes like whiskey)

P.S. As I was scrolling down the page, I thought this said, "UNDRESS MARY"

UnderMary: Definitely can see this one.

PopeToast: Looks more like Sirius Black, from Harry Potter, in the pictures.

BabeCookie: What are we supposed to be looking for?

The cookie is the Babe, definitely. His smile is pretty dead on, and the eye winking thing looks a lot like the old newsreels I have seen... It's real.

I actally drove past Underpass Mary last week. Was wondering what was going on, figured someone died there.

Underpass Mary made national news. Got mentioned on MSNBC this morning.

For all of these 'sightings', I have to wonder which photograph of Jesus and Mary are they comparing these to????
He could have been a short, fat, deformed oompa-loompa for all we know.
