The 38-year-old Italian, who says he is a devout Roman Catholic, is convinced the Picasso-like forms on the outside of the craggy oyster shell - held the right way up - represent the face of Christ.

I can't even find the resemblance. =\

People are such suckers!

GameMaster · 01-15-2005, 02:03 AM

I see the face, but that's not what Jesus looks like.

Not to be blasphemous but it looks like Telly (the fuschia monster) from Sesame Street...

That's not being blasphemous. Being blasphemous is trying to sell "artifacts" of the Christ. If there is a god, our humanity will be rotting in hell, for sure.

And when have you seen a photo of Jesus?

I see Jesus everyday. We have a personal relationship.

And did you know that a wet dream is god giving you a handie? Isn't that contradictory to all the anti-masturbation bs the catholic church tries to preach?

dropCGCF · 01-15-2005, 03:03 AM

It's funny you say that. With my hair and beard, my co-workers call me "J.C." for short.

Blasphemous.

KillerGremlin · 01-15-2005, 03:10 AM

I don't mind being blasphemistic.

It's warm in hell all year-round.

Yea, that and my penis looks like an angel.

Teuthida · 01-15-2005, 03:36 PM

John Kerry maybe.

KillerGremlin · 01-15-2005, 06:17 PM

John Kerry is going straight to hell. That abortion supporting antichrist.

Ace195 · 01-15-2005, 09:37 PM

Yeah John Kerry and his supporters

Just Kidding

... Maybe john kerry is going to hell for turning on his troops under his command, that I'm pretty sure is breaking a commandment..

OK. Let's break it down...

The problem:
Oyster "looks like Jesus." True or False?

Take a look at the similarities between the two.

Oyster

Jesus

While there are a few similarities, it cannot be ignored that the oyster also looks like other familiar faces. Previously stated are Telly and Kerry.

Telly

Kerry

Also seen in these pictures are similarities held between a few familiar faces and the oyster at question. However, if more similarities are held between either Telly or Kerry with the oyster than that which are common between Jesus (or at least... an artist's image of Jesus) and the oyster, would the oyster be said to look like one of them - and therefore not look like Jesus?

So, I suggest we go on a holy quest to find what this oyster closest resembles, to save the face of Jesus Christ! (AMEN!)

Here are a few examples.
(from left to right: alien, halloween mask, goggle art, doll, movie mask)

If we are able to find out what this oyster closest resembles, and somehow let this crazy oyster-observer accurately describe it to avoid angry eBay customers... will it sell for as much as if he'd push the minute semblances between it and Jesus?

...

P.S. Sex still sells.

-----
EDIT:

My thoughts on it all? Based on what ALSO looks like the oyster, this guy must believe that Jesus was pretty damned ugly (no offense to Kerry, though).

Another thought... if all of these things closely resemble the oyster, and the oyster closely resembles Jesus....
....
Was Telly designed to look like Jesus? *gasp*
Better yet... was Jesus an alien?
