I'd Eat Kate Middleton





                                                                              

File this one under royal stupidity. Wesley Hosie found the Kate "I was born rich, while peeps starve" Middleton jelly bean. It is on Ebay for 500 euros, which is prefect timing for those collectors (collectors of crap I guess). It has been a pretty slow year for Jesus sightings, Virgin Mary sightings and any other sighting that is not a sighting at all, but just plain randomness that humans, with that awesome evolved human brain that we have, give meaning to after the fact.

In the new NIV, Mary is not a virgin anymore (as if). She is now referred to as 'young woman.'
 Pareidolia is when we see clouds that look like elephants, or a face in tree bark or some divine superstar (Jesus, gawd, Dj V-Mary etc...) in bread products. Way back in the day humans saw patterns in nature and tried to make sense of it. Because of that we discovered that if you plant a seed at a certain time of the year, it will grow, that there are seasons and migrations. While some of the patterns had meaning, others did not (no one said evolution had to be efficient).

Dogbutt Jesus is by far the best pareidolia. It's so good, it might be fakey fake.

  "As Jessica opened the jar, I saw her immediately. She was literally lying there staring back at me.
Given that the royal wedding is only a few weeks away, we hope to make a few pounds out of it by selling it on the Internet to a collector."


If  you want to buy the mango flavored Kate, it is on Ebay-well, that is if you have that extra 500 euros for crap.
