The Virgin Mary has been discovered on a griddle in a Las Palmas restaurant and has been attracting worshippers. This is the caption for the above photo:
Lucha Libre wrestlers Renegado and Mr. Tempest look at an image of the Virgin Mary said to have appeared on a griddle at Las Palmas restaurant in Calexico. “I follow Our Lady of Guadalupe,” Mr. Tempest said after the viewing. “This is amazing. It’s a true miracle.”
There’s nothing like the absurdity of wrestlers worshipping a dirty cooking griddle.

JonJon: I agree. 
Siberia: That’s a question I always ask myself, though in other contexts, would I still be me if I’d...

You can’t see her unless you wear the magical masks.
It’s so miraculous they keep it on display in a storeroom?
OMG! this has to be a joke! right? you’re joking? please tell me you’re joking!
I just cannot fathom, can’t get my head around, arrggg! Words escape me.
That picture just begs for a LOL captioning. The costumed wrestlers look like comic book superhereos, examining some fresh piece of evidence.
And she found it while cleaning the griddle? Wow. I wonder how many apparations of Jesus/Mary/Buddha/Santa Claus/The Tooth Fairy I’ve just scrubbed down the drain because I wasn’t paying attention!
Atheists: people who just wash the damn dishes, without fantasizing.
“That picture just begs for a LOL captioning”
Doesn’t it just? I tried to write a post about it, but I couldn’t think of anything that was funnier than the picture itself.
ZOMG Itz Jeezus!
Foldin chair broke.
Evaluatin the sturdiness of yr griddle.
I always find it funny how so many who claim to be christians will worship so many objects just like they aren’t suppose to. I never seem to be able to see what most see in these objects, does this mean I am blind to the truth or am only open to the truth?
I think it’s kind of funny that the doctrine of the Trinity isn’t in the Bible at all. It was made up hundreds of years later.
And until now, more than a thousand years, they still goof up on the concept of their bible God. The Book is a testimony that about a billion christians’ Trinity God is a false God.
Better to believe in the TimeCube god.
“”…Maciel… Her brother died of a heart attack two days before the image appeared…believe that for me it’s to give me the strength to continue on,” she said. “”
I never cease to be amazed at how grieveing religious people will grasp for even the tiniest straw of ‘reason’ when a loved one dies. Once a co worker of mine lost a 2 yr old grandchild. People’s hand natually curl when they die, and she said she thought the baby’s hand was curled like an angel was taking her hand.
That is just stupid.
This demands a Daniel/Vorjack Guadalupe fairytale debunking!
“There’s nothing like the absurdity of wrestlers worshipping a dirty cooking griddle.”
It’s just a little more absurd than wrestling itself.
the caption for this picture should read ‘idiots’
Maybe that’s the reason they’re wearing masks!
I was hoping this subject would come up again after “And finally tonight: Jesus”. Since then I saw an online video of a woman keeping a grilled cheese sandwich with “his” image – because the fact that the image didn’t show in a picture upload was a sign for her to keep it herself because he was communicating with her.
In honor of her, I found an image on my bathroom floor. However, it’s not Jesus; it’s more like a 3/4 view of Ebenezer Scrooge, seen slightly from the left. It really looks like a mean old guy with a big beaked nose.
Would somebody please tell that woman that actually the image is of Judas? It’s kind of hard to tell, since they were both adult males of similar heritage, and cheese is a poor print medium, tending to distort the image a bit. Or maybe Scrooge is communicating with her, after she practiced breeding without forethought on a low income. That oughta set her straight.
Would you like some salvation with that?
My dog pooped out the likeness of Moses. You can buy the turd for $50,000.
With the 10 commandments written by the finger of God? It will be priceless if it is a lamb’s poo.
“I bring you these fifteen *crash* … ten! ten commandments.”
If you squint your eyes just a little bit harder…
ARGH! My eyes! I can’t see my eyes!
I’m a Christian but it beats me how so many people recognize the Virgin Mary when they see her while they’ve never actually seen her before?
I once read somewhere, (forgive me, I don’t remember where) that humans naturally try to find a face in everything. I has to do with remembering whom others are. We are visual creatures and we remember our friends and family by memorizing their faces. It’s like how dogs smell each other to recognize friend or stranger.
Anyway, the article had to do with people seeing aliens and ghosts but I think the same could apply here.
What kind of god would reveal himself or herself on a griddle anyway? WTF people. Just a thought.
Ok, don’t pour any batter and see how long it takes for pancakes to appear.
…hmmm, i’d say she(mary)was food for thought. did anyone get the manufacturer’s name off
the griddle? we may have a new church starting up here.
