A Florida woman discovered the image of Jesus - on a potato chip.
Rosalie Lawson was about to bite into the sour cream and onion chip as she watched TV when she suddenly spotted the image.
"I said to myself: 'Oh my goodness,' " she said. "I showed it to my husband Jerry and he was pretty amazed too."
The deeply religious Lawson, 55, whose father-in-law was the first dean of St. Petersburg Cathedral in their home town, is now pondering what to do with it.
"It's sitting in a jar in the kitchen while we decide," she said. "We may sell it - I'm not really sure."

It won't be too good for the comet, either
Russian "astrologist" Marina Bai has filed a lawsuit in the Presnensky district court in Moscow against the U.S. government's NASA, claiming that her business will be ruined if the agency is allowed, as planned, to crash a rocket into the Tempel 1 comet on July 4 to see what can be learned from the experience.
Bai said the collision will "interfere with the natural life of the universe," which will in turn harm her "system of spiritual values," and she seeks 8.7 billion rubles (about $311 million, which is the reported cost of the entire mission).
In golf, it's called a whiskey Coke hazard

When the deputy arrived, he was directed to a man who had flipped over a golf cart while driving around a corner near the course's 16th hole.
The deputy smelled alcohol on the man's breath and asked if he'd had anything to drink.
The golfer said he'd had a few drinks before the crash and one whiskey and Coke after the incident.
He failed the How Drunk Are You Really? test and was taken to the Summit County Jail, where he blew a .077.
He was charged with careless driving and DWAI (Driving While Alcohol Impaired).
The man injured his shoulder, ankle, back and both knees in the crash.
