Beeville, Texas— There was nothing inherently different about Ernesto Garza when he walked into the newspaper office with a piece of foil folded in half.

An older man who attends La Amistad Adult Daycare, Garza walked in, sat down and said, “I have something to show you.”

“I was sitting just like I am now,” Garza said. “I ate more than half of my taco, then a fly was flying around, so I grabbed the flyswatter, and I hit it, and when I looked down, I saw it.”

It was the face of Jesus looking up at him from his half-eaten tortilla.

Here is another story about the tortilla from a slightly more moderate newspaper in Corpus Christi. Have fun reading the comments but be warned that some of the remarks might be offensive or disturbing.[/font]

5. Yes, Mr. Garza was able to resist The Temptation of the Christ.

He took the taco home and put it in the freezer.

6. Meh! Pareidolia strikes again.

Pareidolia Humans like to see faces and other common forms in random visual patterns.

When you are living in the wild, the difference between a real tiger in the brush and an illusory tiger in the brush is significant if you mistake the former for the latter. That's why humans see patterns in the clouds, in the weeds, in pizzas, and in... fucking dogs' butts.

BTW, that's my favorite: Dog Butt Jesus.

Who could imagine that god almighty would reveal herself that way?

Stoooopid people.

10. It seems like I learn so much on DU.

Thanks!

BTW, if you post comments to the mysoutex Website then you must spell "stupid" in an alternative form like you did since the word is banned by filters. Other banned words include Koch, faux, crazy, idiot and cheezburger!

11. Damn! Those idiot cheeseburgers!

8. Tortillas? Toast? Potatoes?

Was is it that Jesus is seen only on food high in carbs?

12. Yep, looks just like the official photograph of Jesus taken right before he ascended into heaven.

14. LOL

I actually thought the same thing when I first saw it. Then I read your post.

Well I think we have us a winner!

Or at least it looks like the pictures everyone has drawn/painted of him.

I don't want to scoff at anybody's religious beliefs, but this story was hilarious for the element of stupidity involved.

17. OMG

That's good enough for me. What is wrong with us if we think of Manson first?
