Funny Pictures - March 2009

Giant Stingray

March 27th 2009 07:16
Largest Stingray ever found



A National Geographic expedition in Thailand discovered this gigantic freshwater stingray which could be the largest ever found. The animal, which was tagged and released is expected to be between 250 and 350 kilograms, however it was never officially weighed. Other stingrays have been seen which are larger in area but not as heavy.

A Mekong catfish which was also caught in Thailand holds the record as the heaviest freshwater fish ever weighed at 293 KGs. Did this ray beat the record, we'll never know!

Religious Figures in Food

Religious Imagery in Food


Thanks to the London blog on QypYour text goes heree, here are some of the most famous religious images that have shown up in food around the world.


Virgin Mary in Toast. Ebay
Virgin Mary in Toast.
This spooky apparition of the Virgin Mary was found by Floridian Diana Duyer in September 1994.

The woman who discovered this sacred snack placed it in “a clear plastic box with cotton balls and kept it on her night stand”. She swears that the godly grilled cheese delight never sprouted a single spore of mould.

The sandwich sold on eBay in 2004, for a whopping $28,000.


religious imagery. Mother Teresa in a bun
Mother Teresa in a Cinnamon Bun.
This cinnamon bun bearing a striking resemblance to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (or the ‘nun bun’ for short) was discovered in Bongo Java Coffee, Tennessee in 1996.

It was proudly displayed in a glass case until it was stolen last year.



Jesus Christ in burnt fish.
Jesus Christ in Burnt Fish.

40-year-old Fred Whan of Ontario Canada discovered this gem after he burnt the fish sticks he was cooking for his kids.

“No one wanted them because they were burned,” he said. “So I thought I’d better give them to the dogs.”. At first he thought it resembled “a rock star” but changed his mind when his son pointed out that it looked more like a slightly charred Christ.



A Pierogi is apparently “a variety of Slavic semicircular boiled dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with varying ingredients”… and sometimes one of those ingredients can be Jesus!

Donna Lee of Toledo Ohio found this particular edible miracle when she was cooking one Palm Sunday in 2005.

Jesus on a Chip.
We had to include this Jesus in a Pringle, spotted by a clergyman’s daughter-in-law from Florida who refused to eat the Messianic munchie and so stored it in a jar instead.

David Caruso

March 20th 2009 07:16
Most of us know him as Horatio Caine on the TV series CSI: Miami, but David Caruso is a serious actor whose versatility has allowed him to play hard-line police officers in both New York and Miami, two cities which couldn't be more different!

The secret to his acting style is too complex to explain in words, and is best left to the picture below....



David Caruso. CSI Miami. Horatio. Remove sunglasses. Put on sunglasses. Sunglasses on.

Same Model, Different Ages

March 6th 2009 07:16
These shots were all taken with the same fashion model. In each one she has different make-up, clothes, hair style and looks to appear at a large range of ages from 10 through to 60. How old do you think she really is?
