How cute!

Maybe if she leaves it untreated, it will expand into an entire Nativity set.

What kills me is that people don't think "Huh, that coincidentally looks like a bit like a crucifix." but rather "Oh my God! It's JESUS! He has a message for me!"

To her credit, she hasn't sold it on eBay (though others have suggested it), and she hasn't credited the picture with any magic powers.

Most of us here realize that the human brain will see what it wants to see. Myself, I turned my head sideways at the photo and saw a squid. Flip the photo around and see what you see.

Hey! Well this looks more like Jesus than a lot of things that get posted. It looks at least something like Jesus.

Too bad that after months of therapy she is undecided about which had more impact on her life:

1: Months of medicine and science, working day and night to help her
2: A tiny Jesus sitting on her neck

Tough choice there. Maybe she should donate 50% to the church and 50% to medical research.

Jesus has been giving me a pain in the neck for years.

Would it be the nails or the thorns that cause the most discomfort?

Every time I see a crucifix I think of Bill HicksWP. ".....it's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a sniper rifle pendant...."

Is there going to be a massive pilgramage to her house, with people wanting to touch her spine?

My only question is: Where’s Jesus’ HEAD!

Feh.

Large burrito with extra sour cream. Two good belches and the image will disappear...

Bowed down towards his right breast. See the bump between the two "arms?"

I have to admit, it really does look like a crucifix. Of course, I was told it did before I looked at it, so I have no idea what I might have seen otherwise.
