About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.
The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Toast Appears on Jesus Christ
Status: Pareidolia
John Ordover sent this in. He was looking at a picture of Jesus (or rather, an artist's interpretation of what Jesus might have looked like) when he realized a piece of toast had miraculously appeared on it. I think this must be a message from John's toaster! But can we be sure that actually is a piece of toast? It kinda looks like a granola bar to me.Posted By: Alex | Date: Sun Mar 30, 2008 | Permalink |

I'm a waffle man myself. All hail the Holy Waffle!

I guess I'm toast for even thinking about it, huh?

Separate comment in same posting: I can't believe how "aryan" the image of Jesus is. Not a touch of his proud semitic heritage.

Blasphemers! Heretics! Do you not recognize Shredded Wheat when it appears before your foolish eyes?
Posted by MicroZealous on Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 12:42 PMTed, I said the Toast should be pumpernickel instead of white bread, but you're right- it should be a nice, tangy, seeded rye bread, Grossinger's brand comes to mind. It's the best part of a Rueben, oh yeah
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 12:53 PMThat's the craziest lapel pin I've ever seen. Is that Toastmasters?

Posted by bob on Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 02:09 PMIt's sooo obviously not toast...
Weren't figs mentioned in the Bible?
Most definitely a Fig Newton!

Of course the toast is perfect. After all, it IS Jesus Toast.
Posted by The Barber of Civility in Atlanta on Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 05:48 PMIt's eerie; it's like the toast follows me around the room wherever I go.
That's one creepy savior.

And of course it's stuck to him with the buttered side.
Posted by Lugosi in Northern VA on Fri Apr 04, 2008 at 11:05 AMHey, maybe it's the toast or grilled cheese sandwiches that are really divine in nature! The fact that a face can magically appear on toasted bread is proof to me that maybe bread is divine in nature. Bread Bless America!
Posted by Robert Madewell in Arkansas on Fri Apr 04, 2008 at 01:23 PMIsn't that Melba Toast?

Hmm, I don't know - while the toast seems real, the figure of Christ is pixilated into little sqaure-shaped boxes.
Posted by John Ordover in New York on Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 04:17 AMAmazing. Let us all raise our glasses and drink to this amazing piece of grilled bread! La'Chiam
Posted by Brad Templeton in California on Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 10:34 AMOrdover, I hope you're joking. It's not pixelated, it's a mural.
Posted by UmmoSirius in River City, CA on Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 11:58 AMActually, it's a mosaic, a art form in which small pieces of tile are used to create images.
Does that answer your question?
Posted by John Ordover on Mon Apr 07, 2008 at 02:11 AMDoes that answer your question?
It does indeed. My bad. =)
Posted by UmmoSirius in River City, CA on Mon Apr 07, 2008 at 06:42 AMSeriously? No one has cracked a Holy Wheat pun yet?
Posted by BenRifkah on Mon Apr 07, 2008 at 02:34 PMIs the bread leavened?
That really is the question, isn't it?
