    Google Finds Jesus

    Story: http://www.theregister.com/2005/07/1...e_spots_jesus/
    Maps Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-16.3...8186&t=k&hl=en
    Black helicopter alert There's some very good news today for those readers who do not have the good fortune to live in either the UK or the US of A - you now officially exist according to Google UK.

    Yup, maps.google.co.uk has now restored those bits of the the globe previously not thought worthy of inclusion in the big map - which was everywhere except Blighty and the States, Canada, Central America, some Caribbean islands and the Irish Republic. There's more on the terrifying conspiracy theory behind this mass erasure in our previous report into the matter.

    But before the black helicopters can return to base, we must ask this simple question: Why has Google Maps chosen to remain silent on the small matter of having located Jesus Christ in a Peruvian sand dune?

    Jesus or Charles Manson?

    We find it impossible to believe that Google didn't spot this ghostly Turin shroudesque image of Our Lord in the South American sands. What are they not telling us?

    A quick phone call to Erich von Däniken confirmed our initial suspicions that the image was hewn from the sand by an ancient civilisation using hot air balloons and alien laser technology borrowed from the scientists of Atlantis. Either that or someone is projecting a picture of Charles Manson onto the desert from a low Earth orbit, Erich told El Reg before popping out to discover a representation of an extraterrestrial wearing an Apple iPod carved into a stone by Mayan artisans in 500BC.

    Whatever the truth, the implications of this discovery are chilling indeed. Sinister things are afoot at Google, make no mistake.

    Interesting. I don't think google would lie; it could be a joke but I doubt that unless it was April 1st.

    Nature can be very weird sometimes. I mean, just look at the clouds and see how many interesting shapes and forms you can see. Personally I do believe this is simply coincidence. It's not exactly impossible for the natural landscape in a particular area to look a bit like a face. Spooky? no. Interesting? yes.

    Or then again, maybe it was Rolf Harris who did it (Can you tell what it is yet?)

    Well i guess you are right probonic, it's just like that "face on mars". All it turned out to be was a normal mountain, so i guess your correct in saying that nature is weird

    Many times our eyes will believe what we tell them to see.. Just like Probonic said with clouds, I have watched the clouds before plenty of times with other people, and someone sees something different until 1 person says "Hey doesn't that look like" and then your like "Oh yea it does"

    Same goes with those damn inkblot tests (not that I have ever taken one before)

    woah, that's really cool and freaky at the same time. What i don't understand, is why do we label it as jesus's face? Cause to me, just some guys's face.

    Sometimes people search for Jesus in the oddest places.

    I think we have ebay as another example of that

    Well we can make a safe assumption that he resembles the man on the cross.

    Maybe I'm blind but I can see what looks like a face but can't see nearly enough detail to say it looks like Renaissance paintings of what people think Jesus might have looked like. I can't even make out a beard.
