If you cover up the right side of the "face", the left side looks like Superman's Teri Hatcher. If you cover the left side, the right side looks like Lemmy from Motorhead. If you sit back and squint your eyes, it looks like one of those martian faces that JK was always going on about...

Well... *cough* .... actually, I think it looks like Jesus.

Obviously someone painted it on the wall before the wallpaper went down, and to me it looks like a knockoff of the Shroud of Turin, but with an homage to Ming the Merciless in that triangle-forehead-thing. See, it's "Art". They're making a statement about the "merciless-ness" of Organized Christianity, see?

I knew people in college who were "into" that sort of thing. They had a black parachute hanging from the ceiling, too.

I love how people immediately assume devine intervention, when there is a more practical and more likely answer, such as it was painted/drawn there before the wallpaper was put up?


there's an image of Budda in my fallafal <sp?>

Excuse me for hijacking, but the chick that made that website also believes in "chemtrails" and the Carlos WTC UFO. But, her comments on Michael Jackson and Britney Spears were pretty good.
