First Jesus's image was spotted on a New Mexico tortilla

Bible Belt Blogger: First Jesus's image was spotted on a New Mexico tortilla

Frank Lockwood

Then the face of Mother Theresa appeared on a Tennessee bun. Later, someone spotted the Virgin Mary's visage in a California vat of chocolate. Now the apparitions have switched from the sacred to the profane:

From WKYT in Lexington, Kentucky:

"Every so often, we get reports of an apparent image of Jesus being spotted in an unlikely place, like on a water tower or a tree stump. Some people interpret that as a sign that Judgment Day is coming.

But what does it mean when a Kentucky man picked up a pizza at Pappa John's only to discover an image of Homer Simpson.

"'I was getting ready to start Weight Watchers, and I did my blowout just before cause you get more points if you weigh more," said Chris Walls. "I ate a whole pizza, cheese and mushroom, and there he was, Homer, sitting there looking right at me.'"
