Looks like the Maltese Falcon to me!
Workers at a chocolate company have discovered a 2-inch-tall (5-centimeter-tall) column of chocolate drippings that they believe bears a striking resemblance to traditional depictions of the Virgin Mary.
Since the discovery of the drippings under a vat on Monday, employees of Bodega Chocolates have spent much of their time hovering over the tiny figure, praying and placing rose petals and candles around it.
The chocolate, on display for most of the week in the front of the company gift shop, now rests in a plastic case in a back room and is brought out only for curious visitors.
The factory owner says the lump gives her chills. My reaction tends more to heartburn and ennui.
It’s the Maltese Falcon!
It does look like the Maltese Falcon! lol
Really! What is with all the religious posts lately. Has John found God?
Looks like the Pieta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0_(Michelangelo) to me!
Only yummier.
No if John had found God it would have been in his bathroom mirror.
Wouldn’t it be more important to pray to God or Jesus?
At least God picked a good place for it… I always go looking for idols under huge vats of chocolate…
Looks like an owl to me. But I’m sure it works for the giftshop. Did anyone say ebay?
If it is a work of god, I’d say it stinks.
Then again, so does wisdom teeth and the appendix. Also goddish work according to some people with heads mostly for looks.

It only prooves that chocolate is indeed divine.
What if chocolate drippings looked like something else. Like a turd, a phalic symbol, or satan. Would that be an ominous sign as well? No? Why not?
Sounds like confirmation bias to me. You see what you want to see, ignore all contrary evidence.
“Christ…”
…have spent much of their time hovering over the tiny figure, praying and placing rose petals and candles around it.
Is management having them clean under the vats more often, so there isn’t a chance of this happening again?
Are the workers not cleaning as often, hoping that there will be another “sign from God”?
If they are sure that it is devine, put a little heat under it for an hour or two. Testing ones faith is always a good thing >G
Heh…
It looks more like a poop to me…
Chocolate is an indulgence, so this must be the work of the Devil!
#2 – I don’t think John found God – I think he’s looking for God (in all the wrong places 🙂
Personally, I am afraid of Jesus and don’t want anything to do with him. So many death row inmates claim to have found Jesus in prison, so I figure Jesus must be a really bad muther f*cker to be incarcerated so many times.
If the death sentence really an effective deterant to a criminal diety who can just be resurrected over and over again?
Mary, on the other hand, seems like such a good mother. She shows up in chocolate, bagels, tomatos, pancakes, so on and so forth… She must be a really good chef… Or at least prolific in the kitchen.
#14….John….I thought I was the only one who thought that 🙂
When I read the above post, I knew immediatly that the employees were going to Hispanic….has anyone else noticed that the Virgin Mary always shows up in weird places for the Hispanics?
First of all Andy, God and Jesus are the same being. And Jesus, “oh fot the love of” is with the people that truly repent and believe in him, not with people like you that have no heart and faith..
just like looking at the clouds, everyone sees what they want to see, theist or atheist.

Are you a zombie? Because without a heart I can’t figure out how you operate a computer. 🙂
“What is with all the religious posts lately. Has John found God?”
I can’t speak for Eideard, but as for me, I only post what God tells me to. 🙂

According the myth, God gave his only begotten son and so on and so forth… So what is it? Is he the son of God, or is he God? Or does it even matter in the Magical Land of Make-Believe?
And what is it that I am repenting for?
As for faith, that’s just the mechanism that lets you believe in the fantasy by sidestepping all logic and reason.

I appreciate the 🙂 — However, I operate the computer with my hands, although since the heart is a mucsle that pumps blood through my circulatory system, I must have one and it must be working for my hands to be able to work.

I hope you know I was making fun of LINDA’s comment not of you.
See! I am not good with humor.
“So what is it? Is he the son of God, or is he God?”
Actually it is both but don’t get them started on the trinity thing. My god! We will never stop lauging!

J, I do realize that. 🙂 I like your good natured posts.
That looks like a *very* dirty buttplug.
Of course, since it looks like a poop…
Gives new meaning to “talking to God on the big white phone on the bathroom floor…”
Wooohahahah!
Praise the fecal matter!
… but what do you put in the Offering Plate ?
