An image of Jesus has appeared in burned bacon fat at the bottom of a frying pan, it has been claimed. Toby Elles, 22, made the discovery after burning the food when he fell asleep while cooking.
After lifting off the scorched bacon Mr Elles, from Salford, Lancs, could not believe his eyes when the Christlike image stared back at him. The face is complete with eyes, nose, a beard and is framed by long flowing hair. Mr Elles, a cashier for Halifax Bank, said: "I fell asleep cooking some bacon and it had burned this face onto the pan, it's some kind of miracle. I believe that God is watching over me and nothing bad will ever happen to me" said Toby just before he suffered the large heart attack which killed him.
It looks more like Charles the Second to me!

Jesus was Jewish and would therefore not appear in a bacon pan!
And there was me thinking that it was the Romans wot killed him. As everyone knows, Jesus was not the son of God but of Naughtius Maximus.
The Romans were in charge at the time so did the killing but it was the pharises who accused Jesus of being a rabble rouser. I think the Romans just wanted a quiet life and it was neither here nor there to them. According to the gospels Pilatus wasn't too keen on the killing but saw it as a way to keep the mob happy.
Fred, I take your point but we seem to have developed a Jewish debating society here. I'll get back to you in two comments!
Bwian, I would have to take issue with you that Christ was the first Christian. At what point do we know that God had told him that he was going to start a religion? Could he possibly have been the child of a Roman? Did his maw, commmit adulterous fannyious? Did Peenii Maximus have it in for her? Anyway Fred's point about the bacon is not valid. In my experience some Jews eat bacon like fuck when they think know one is looking.
Fred, nice to meet you again. You make a valid point about the Romans killing Christ but not about the bacon eating by Jews as in previous comment. They're not very keen on shellfish as well particularly small prawns which they are not allowed to eat for some reason.
Peeni Tremendi, you are historically correct, but what's that got to do with the price of fish? Or loaves for that matter?
DL. God made the virgin Mary pregnant by miraculous conception. 'No dickus wos requiredus' is latin for virgin birth.
God sent Jesus via Mary to die for the sins of the world. It was all planned ( even the Judas bit and the rolling stone bit). So we can assume God wanted Jesus to be a Christian and get the religion off to a good start. A bit like Thatcherism under Maggie. She started the whole thing off. Although in her case it died when she left office.
Looking back now it's a bit ropey historically. I mean 3 wise men in the middle east ? And born in a manger in December ? That's the rainy season out there and all the barns would be chocca with animals sheltering for the winter. Certainly no space for a Christian love in.

LMFAO at the thought of Jews eating a few plates of bacon butties when no one is looking!
The wife teaches quite a few Jewish Princesses at her school - spoilt little troughers!
Wonder if any Muslims keep dogs for a pet?

DL. Well Fred said it was the Romans wot killed Jesus and I said yes but that they were put up to it by the local jewish mob who wanted him out of the way as he was getting too popular.
Bwian, this comment thread is becoming an evangelical mission. Anybody IMO who believes in all that Big Man up in the sky sending his only son to be crucified by some Roman governer shite is bonkers. But, as a balanced person, (chip on both shoulders, Scottish thing), if that's what they believe then fair dos.
Daisy, I used to work with this Jewish guy from the East end of London and I remember being with him on a Jolly in Florida. The fucker couldn't get bacon in his face fast enough and his excuse was that it was ok because he was away from home!
Penii Tremendii, yes I remeber seing the film, Ben Hur or the Greatest Story Ever Told or something. Just like being there! Mind you the crucifiction scene would have benn more realistic in 3D.
DL. Yes it's all bollox but imagine if we were able to convert Rab though ? That would be cool. Show him the way to the Lord. A cheesy Friday night story. Oh I see you've already got a cheesy Friday night story about rolling cheeses down a hill. Like the stone rolling from the Jesus tomb ? Is it a sign ?
Rab, who the fuck is Shadrach Dingle and what is an Emmerdale? I tried to google it, but even they haven't mapped it.
Bwian, it's a bit spooky that you have pointed that out. I am definately going to church this Sunday to see what all this shite is about! Is it a bit like a cheese and wine party? Do you get your own fondue?
I sense this laddie is a bit of a dab hand with photoshop and less of a dab hand with cooking.
Have you ever tasted communion wine DL? Many years ago to impress the accompanying boyfriend I shuffled down the aisle. Actually I was kind of looking forward to it because I thought a good drop would cure the hangover from the good time the night before.
The manny in the frock must have realised I wasn't one of his flock, or anyone's flock, because the goblet didn't even come within sniffing distance and I was shoved past! Haven't been back.
I love the feel of something hard and cheesy in my throat.
Rosie. The answer to that is no. I have a childhood memory though of when on occasion my father dragged me off to church of wanting to know what the wee metal rings were for, which of course held the communion glasses. I never managed to get there when the 'big' communion day came around once a year. Although my wife is a Catholic and I have accompanied her to church usually at Christmas in the first few years of our marriage, I never felt I could go down to partake of the communion biscuit and wine. All that 'body of Christ' bit probably offended my Presbyterian roots in some deeply pysciological way!
Your greatness, we are indebted to you once more for deeming to visit our little blog. When you say 'hot and cheesy' is one talking of a slice of Parmesan? Or is one inferring you might like a fleshy knob blocking your glands? Perhaps one woukld like something hot and hard up one's 'rectum'. Like a red hot poker for instance. the same thing was applied to James the second of Scotland and it certainly 'reckedhim'
I don't think the messiah would use such a crude attempt to say hello to us. Especially after all his miracles and that.
I suspect that Jesus noticed the lovely smell of bacon and bent forward to smell it better and got his coupon stuck to the pan. I'd look for a man with a burnt face and some rashers stuck to his coupon trying to figure out how to do a miracle on himself as he didn't fancy looking like Nikki Lauda for the rest of eternity.
Plausible, Congratulations you win the comment of the week competition!
Perhaps in the Palestine having a couple of rashers stuck to your coupon is some sort of status symbol. It may even be some sort of a religious sign, like the cross. Maybe the bible got it wrong and one of the wise men came bearing some rindless, unsmoked back bacon instead of Myrhh. Whatever that is.
