Man Says Jesus Keeps Appearing in Truck Window, Won't Leave
Today's pareidolia news...
A Jonesborough, Tennessee man says an image of Jesus has appeared in the condensation on his pick-up truck window for two weeks and won't go away.
"Stevens said when he first saw the image, he figured it would evaporate and not return. But it kept reappearing for two weeks now. Stevens said folks at the grocery store he goes to were amazed to see the image. He said he isn't going to wash the truck for a while."

Why do some folks always see jesus on any picture of a man with long hair and a beard? NOBODY knows what Jesus looked like. It could be any "hippie" from the 70s. It looks to me like Jake Gyllenhall dressed-up for "Prince of Persia."

The phone number and invitation that I wrote, with my finger, on the inside of the steam room door keeps appearing and won't go away till someone washes the body oil off of the glass.

Same thing happens after my kids put their grubby hands on my windshield. It's a miracle! And unless I clean the windshield it will keep happening everytime the windshield condenses. Oh wait, not a miracle just science.

I've read in a couple places that Jesus was most likely short-haired and clean shaven (as was the style at the time). That said, it looks like someone drew jesus on the window with their finger, and the skin oils are keeping condensation from forming there.

I read this while feeding my unicorn and we both had to smile! That Jesus finds the darnedest ways to communicate.

Simple: Stencil and car wax or anti-fog spray. What an idiot!!!

Can you imagine the mindset of a person who would actually call the media to tell the story of how Jesus appeared in his windshield? I don't know what's worse...that for the fact that the media picked it up.

That's a real brain scientist. I'll keep the dirty window, screw it if I can't see that car ready to plow into me. Praise Jesus.

KEN, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Any bafoon with some anti-fog spray and a stencil can reproduce the "MIRACLE" at will.

That's Charles Manson, not Jesus.
And I go for the anti-fog polymer spray and a stencil theory. The question is, did he do it himself or did someone do it w/o his knowledge.

Far too perfect to be an accident ---
and far too obvious a prank.

I wonder how much that window will bring on ebay?

Well this is sad. Does he have a potato chip, tree stump, or a grilled cheese sandwich laying around somewhere too?

Excuse me, but I am from Tennessee and I am not a retarded Bible-thumping fraud like this jerk-off. You don't stereotype me as a hillbilly redneck, and I won't assume you have a lisp. Thanks!

The style was certainly NOT short hair and clean shaven. That was a Roman look and someone from his area would have done anything to not look like a Roman. He would have followed the conventions of his region as far as dress, hair and beard.

as a former bored child sitting in the back of my mothers station wagon, i remember how the drawings i made with my finger on the glass would stay for weeks, thanks to my grubby greasy little fingers. someone drew it, they had oily hands. praise jebus!

You could try pounding some nails into him, but he'll be back in three days.
