Bacon makes me see things, too
Man finds Jesus in burnt pan
Published: March. 11, 2010 at 5:40 PM
SALFORD, England, March 11 (UPI) -- A British man who fell asleep while cooking bacon said he awoke an hour later to find the image of Jesus Christ burned into the base of the frying pan.

Toby Elles, 22, of Salford, England, said he was making a bedtime snack after having some beers with housemates and fell asleep on the couch while waiting for his bacon to cook, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.

"When I woke up about an hour later the room was full of smoke," he said. "Luckily we have an electric hob so I just turned off the heat, but then I lifted up the bacon and there was JC looking back at me."

"It's some kind of miracle," Elles said.

12. Can people just step away from the oven or the stove top after quaffing a few beers?
Is that too much to ask? I mean, really, just get real and decide that you cannot really respond in a reasonable mode and so save it for a later time when you are sober?

Why not try that, mates?

25. Oh yeah.
It's our Constitutional right to blow our noses off with firearms while intoxicated, because GODDAM IT, the 2nd Amendment . . . blah blah blah.

8. Well did Jesus keep kosher?
if he did then I don't think there was a lot of bacon being served at the last supper.

9. Had a few beers. Saw a bacon rocket. Video ...
Bacon Rocket

The folks that brought you hover bacon have done it again. In the name of science and love of bacon, they have sought to answer once and for all the question that’s been plaguing the world for so long…

Can a rocket be made of bacon?

You know you’ve always wanted to know the answer. The Rather Good team provides the proof.

24. Looks fake. Like clip art...
...painted on the bottom of the pan with fat combined with lemon juice to brown quickly.

Dunno.

A friend of mine and I once joked about airbrushing christian images onto bread with lemon juice and then toasting it and selling it on ebay... Jesus. Mother Mary...

TYY :shrug:

19. I'd be looking for the poor dude who burned his face in a frying pan.
Anyone seen him? Have they checked the Emergency Rooms? He's probably still screaming.

If I've said it once; I've said it a million times. I thank God every day for making me an atheist.
