I don't see it. Unless... is that? ... no it's just a tree.

Looked like a big vag to me

?!?

Okay, seriously people, I'm agnostic leaning-atheist, but anyone who's saying they can't see a coincidental resemblance (and, yes, that's all it is) is simply being disingenuous.

I see the Grim Reaper.

Cool! a Ringwraith!

RAAAAGE!!!

Haha. Idiot. One doesn't need to believe the myths to see a resemblance to the symbolism.

In before Streetlight

don't you mean world "Hungour"?

Skail: Okay, seriously people, I'm agnostic leaning-atheist, but anyone who's saying they can't see a coincidental resemblance (and, yes, that's all it is) is simply being disingenuous.

It looks about as much like the Virgin Mary as it does Rasputin, Jesus, or a fifth level wizard.

coincidental resemblance

A good term.. the human mind is predisposed to see faces and people-like patterns in things.

/hot linking bastard.

Rule 34 or not - but after bicycles, traffic cones, park benches, etc. I'm really not all that interested in finding out how a tree can be devirginized in the first place.

pattern recognition

HOW farkING HOLY

Look at the facial area - It looks more like the grim reaper.

It's a streetlight... er.. penis.

Does that make me gay?

I am so farking sick of people thinking they see Jesus and Mary everywhere.

Where or not you believe in that sort of thing, if Jesus were going to appear to you don't you think it would be a little more grandiose than in a farking rust stain?

Came here for a dendrophiliac reference of some kind, and am leaving sadly disappointed.

/c'mon! I can't be the only one who immediately thought God was revirginizing defiled and ravished trees

FTA "An uncanny likeness of the Virgin Mary formed into the bark of a Scarborough tree . . ."

Like anyone knows what Mary looked like. It could be Tara or Jean or Jane or any other woman or man for that matter in period dress.

Come on people.

cue the God haters!

Who has a picture of Mary to see if she looks like the image on the tree? The problem with images of Mary and Jesus, is that they look like Europeans, not Middle Eastern.

Insert inane "testing your faith"-style non-rebuttal here.

Checkin' for bees!

Barely passable as Mary...her complexion looks a bit rough.

Cripes, dude creates the entire universe and can't just make a goddamn phone call?

You christians, next one of you dies please tell him to stop messing with our shiat.

Stradavus: I am so farking sick of people thinking they see Jesus and Mary everywhere.



One way to cure this is to not care about what other people think they see.

cksewell: Barely passable as Mary...her complexion looks a bit rough.

She's got a woody.

I see a penis, or a vagina with a large clitoris.
Or the grim reaper if I consider the vagina clothing.

oldandwiser: Who has a picture of Mary to see if she looks like the image on the tree? The problem with images of Mary and Jesus, is that they look like Europeans, not Middle Eastern.

Historical Jesus probably looked a lot like Yassar Arafat.

Hooray! A greenlight!

/people who see things in things are silly

makes you wonder what would happen if they had a camera during a cloud watching religious experience.

It was after work and Moreau had just opened a beer in the backyard of his Danforth and Birchmount Rds.-area home when he noticed the familiar image of the Virgin, her arms outstretched, in his neighbour's tree.

I never see virgins when I open a beer.

I once got a roll in a restaurant that looked like baby jesus's foot. It was a miracle! I bit each toe off one at a time.

WIN

Yeah, seeing the Virgin Mary in a tree's okay,
but dropping acid at that Dead show was more impressive.

The word is Vulva, not Vagina.

As you were.

That's what I saw

And it's in Scarborough. Believe me, if there's any neighborhood that's been divinely blessed, Scarborough isn't it.

unlike a lot of these things like this that get greenlit, i actually see what they're talking about in the object.

thanks subby.

virgin mary? maybe.
Cloaked figure? maybe

hmmmm....
could it also be

Roger Mexico's [from some of his photoshops]
CREEPY CLOAKED GUY?!?!!?!

dun-dun dunnnn

Stradavus: I am so farking sick of people thinking they see Jesus and Mary everywhere.

ah... but whatabout the people who think they see The Jesus and Mary Chain everywhere?

/snark off.

Devirginized by woodpeckers. Revirginized by bees and wasps (Order, Hymenoptera).
