Many Christians believe Jesus can be found anywhere. In southern Lenoir County, he may be found on a utility pole.
The pole, about a mile south of Kinston, has attracted attention of some area residents. Some say the kudzu-covered post bears a striking resemblance to Jesus’ crucifixion.
The pole, which is the only one nearby covered in “the vine that ate the South,” is at the northwest corner of Tyree Road and U.S. 258 S., in the Jackson Heights neighborhood.
Kent Hardison, who runs Ma’s Hotdog House less than a half mile from the pareidolia, rides by the Christ-resembling post each day. He said when he first saw the kudzu growing he almost sprayed it with herbicide.
“I glanced at it, and it looks like Jesus,” Hardison said. “I thought, ‘You can’t spray Jesus with Roundup.’ ”

See, kudzu is special.
When the SHTF, we’ll be glad we have it.
FESTIVAL OF APPARITIONS!
These appearances (called apparitions) have occurred with increasing frequency since the nineteenth century, and have attracted widespread attention. Pope Pius XII, in calling attention to the apparitions, referred to the nineteenth century as the "century of Marian predilection [i.e., preference]." And the present century cannot be far behind: one leading Marian scholar notes that there have been more than 200 reported apparitions since the 1930s alone.[2] With the various shrines dedicated to the particular apparitions attracting millions of pilgrims each year, it is easy to see that this phenomenon is having a substantial impact on the almost one-billion-member Roman Catholic church.

Make your own "Holy Toast"
And besides, you can’t kill kudzu with Roundup. It just makes it mad.
Cheetos® Christ.
And the last thing you want to do is make kudzu mad. It remembers. And waits. Until it can take its bloody green vengeance when you least expect it.

Reminds me of Karl Wallenda, right before he fell in San Juan.
Swallow your car in a single night. Crawl in your windows and strangle you in your bed.
Looks like they crucified Sigmund the Sea Monster.
You’re too clever by half.
“You’re too clever by half.”
That’s too much of a complement by my standards.
To each his own. Me? I've had worse things said about me by nicer people.
“To each his own. Me? I’ve had worse things said about me by nicer people.”
I’m not known for being nice. I’m known for being right.
Well, I guess you got that right!
