André the Giant Pareidolia

[backstab]

I noticed the door of one of my school's bathrooms had a cool looking grain on it, so I tried to look for Jesus on it. I was upset when I could only find André the Giant

Ever since he played Bigfoot (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0702122/), I knew André the Giant was God.

Disappointed with Andre the Giant? What did Jesus do that was better than the big man huh? Did Jesus ever throw Hulk Hogan out of a ring? No. Did Jesus ever have a part in The Princess Bride. No. Was Jesus in a Conan movie? Nope.

How far did Jesus get in any Royal Rumble huh? Be proud of your school's awesome door. And pray to it. Or else.

[Chupacabras]

The patterns in the door are way too symmetric for my taste.

Say, has Mel Gibson been around town lately?

Looks more like that famous painting 'The scream' to me..but he's moved position a little!

[Arkayik]

Nah, definitely Jar-Jar-Binks...

If it was Jesus, I could steal the door and sell it on ebay.

It looks like Golddust to me.

That nose... mouth... could be Hirogen:

But the eyes and brow are more like Galactus:

That's the trouble with these darn pareidolia, eh, they could be so many things. It's almost as if they're just random discolorations on a plain surface onto which we project our own cultural imagery.

Christ sure got his ass kicked at Holy Rumble XVI. After Lao-Tzu had softened him up with a textbook atomic spine-buster, Buddha and Moses took turns ramming his head into the turnbuckle and stomping on his face, then Quetzalcoatl finished him off with a beautiful flying lariat off the top rope into a Sicilian death-clutch (I thought it was poor sportsmanship for Zoroaster to beat our Lord and Savior over the head with that chair and throw him through the announcer's desk; he was already out cold ferchrissakes... where was the referee?!) :mad:

I had a pareidolia instructor in high school. He disappeared on a nature hike, though.

Your way is not very sporting.

Jesus vs. Satan, well, the boxing didn't turn out so well for Jesus, I wouldn't hold my breath if you add grappling:

Hi

Hmmm...

Did the trees that the veneer came form come form Mexico?

That face looks Olmec to me.

No, but it's anything goes in these DeityWE elimination matches. :catfight:

I really think Jesus needs a new strategy -- turn the other cheek just isn't getting it done. Don't get me wrong, nobody suffers and bleeds like the Xtian messiah, but unless his opponents drown in it, he'll always be a target for heels like Zoroaster and L Ron Hubbard. (If He were to recruit the Four Horsemen for a match, then we'd see some overdue vengeance wreaked on those pagan pretenders.)

Ha, good one!

That has to be the most quoted movie of this generation.

It reminded me of Tom Noonan playing Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter:

This is turning into a weird sort of Rorshach test now.

I think it's more an example of paradollies:

Andre the Giant has a Posse of Pareidolia!

[Aerik]

@ opener: that's supposed to be Andre the Giant?

I dont' think it looks like who nobbynobbs says, but close. You can tell that the face is bald, so it's like what he said, but...

... Zordon?
