Some school cook, Rosa D’Agostino, saw an image of the Virgin Mary imprinted on what looks to be freezer burn on a frozen turkey. Take a look for yourself. In my opinion, it just looks like lines. The Virgin Mary has appeared as many things, like as a bed stain or a window glare, but at least they look relatively believable. This just looks like, oh, I don’t know…ice.

“When D’Agostino sliced open the plastic, she saw an image of the Virgin Mary on the Thursday lunch special, making it a “holy turkey,” she said.
“I have ten months of the school year, and I’ve never seen a turkey like that,” she said. Once a few kitchen helpers took a look and affirmed that the image was indeed the Virgin Mary, they declared that they would not cook the frozen bird.
”Nobody will cook it,” Cathy Strum, the food services secretary said. “The cook was very nervous about cooking it, and the slicer said, ‘I’m not slicing it either.’” “I have ten months of the school year, and I’ve never seen a turkey like that,” she said.

I wish there were more interesting stories today, but I guess this’ll just have to do. My b.
These look like they were taken today with costumed characters. Solid.

“In 1909 a remarkable project was initiated by Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky. His mission was to record – in full and vibrant color – the vast and diverse Russian Empire. Here, with his story, is a selection of his amazing century old full color pictures.”

James Symington’s dog, Trakr, found a woman buried in the debris of the WTC. Thankfully, she was still alive.

“Scientists in California say they have cloned a dog that helped with search-and-rescue after the New York terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Five German shepherd puppies cloned from a dog named Trakr have been delivered to owner James Symington, a former police officer in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who now lives in Los Angeles.
Before Trakr died in April at age 16, Symington entered a contest sponsored by the California company BioArts International that offered to clone a pet dog for free.
Symington took Trakr to New York after the World Trade Center collapsed and said Trakr helped find one woman who was still alive.”
You don’t hear about any cats participating in any search-and-rescue missions. They’d probably just watch everyone else do work and sit on a windowsill. Then fall asleep, and not feel bad. I’d love to roll around on the floor while those puppies surround and jump all over me. No homo, but seriously, that’d be so sweet.
I'm Important
During an interview with CNBC news correspondent John Harwood, President Obama engaged in an activity that every person on the face of the earth does…killed a fly. Flies are annoying, no doubt about it. The only thing more satisfying than killing a fly, is doing it in front of someone. A fly, being the assholes that flies normally are, flew into the interview uninvited. In an act of bravery, the President swatted it with his bare hands, and in front of thousands of people no doubt. PETA got pissed and is now outraged by the President’s heinous actions.

“PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama’s conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
“Get out of here,” the president told the pesky insect. When it didn’t, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
“Now, where were we?” Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: “That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker.”
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama’s voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, “swatting a fly on TV indicates he’s not perfect,” Friedrich said, “and we’re happy to say that we wish he hadn’t.”"
Do you know how hard it is to kill a fly? It’s really fucking hard. The fact that Obama pulled it off the first time makes me proud to say he’s my president. Looks like we made the right choice.

You can ask the internet what it thinks about anything. For Example…
That sucks. Looks like the internet doesn’t like your face
If you’re like me, you have to see something to believe it. The media says our economy sucks, but when you look around, people are spending just as much money as they did in 1997, maybe even more. Americans are still overweight, people are buying $80,000 cars, and we’re all acting like this recession isn’t real. Well now, instead of just hearing about our shitty economy, we can see how it compares to the Great Depression. It’s pretty scary at how closely we’re following the trends during the 1930s, and in some cases we’re doing worse. Get it in yo life…hope these graphs don’t ruin your day.
