Jesus on the Half Shell

Here's another image-of-God-appears-in-food story.
The BBC reports that a Swiss bar manager, Matteo Brandi, has found an oyster shell that bears the spitting image of Jesus Christ, though to me it looks more like what I imagine the Sea-God Poseidon should look like. Mr. Brandi said he found the shell when "The oyster stuck to his hand as if God was calling him." He also points out that his oyster shell is unique because, unlike the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich, it is "the work of nature." That's true. A few hundred years ago Mr. Brandi's shell would have been referred to as a
Lusus Naturae. Mr. Brandi doesn't need any encouragement to sell his holy oyster shell online. That's already his plan.

Yes, sometime it is very shocking to see these kind of pictures, signs and other that tend to be a resemblances of god. I have no idea to accept it or to tell it is just a fake or shell design... Anyway thanks for the article.
