First off:

pareidolia- a psychological phenomenon where an ambiguous stimulus is perceived as being significant. eg, A corn flake shaped like Jesus.

Here's some good ones:

Satan in a bathroom tile


Jesus in an MRI:



Jesus on a toilet seat sticker:
YouTube - Las Vegas Woman Sees Jesus on Toilet Seat Sticker

Mary and baby Jesus in a lava lamp:


Elvis found on a rock:


Even Pope John Paul II in a flame:




The mind sees what it wants to see, that kinda stuff.

LOL those onions

This brain stimulation often reflects sensory stimulus of the viewer or listener's brain and is vaguely connected to a familiar object in that person's library of thought, e.g. many images or sounds are often
connected to religious themes.

Then there are sexual connotations too but the onions are a fun example hahaha.... who's the tease?

I thought there was a Cheeto Jesus a couple of weeks ago but I can't find it now. There were quite a few others, though.

From 2009:
In Dallas, Texas Dan and Sarah Bell discovered a Jesus shaped Cheeto as they began their road trip last week. Nicknaming the Cheeto “Cheesus,” Sarah noticed that one of the chips looked oddly familiar “I was putting them in my hand and I had eaten most of the ones in my hand, and one was left lying there. And I said, ‘Oh my gosh, look at this. It really looks like a person in a robe praying.”
CBS News reported the Cheeto in question is about 2 inches tall and missing a right arm. Other than that, one might see a distinct robe, long hair and a man praying. This isn’t the first time a Jesus Cheeto has shown up in the snack bag. Last year CNN reported on a similar Jesus Cheeto found in the bag of the popular snack.

Given the fact that no one knows what Jesus actually kooked like, it is quite amazing how often his "image" is discovered. One that not there is this little cartoon.
