It looks more like Archbishop of Cantebury

Rowan Williams to me.

call the CIA 

By Hein Kruger Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 11:36 GMT

That's clearly an image of Osama Bin Laden.

Hmmm....

Oh dear...

Spanish Inquisition? 

By JohnA Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 11:43 GMT

"Several hardened atheists here at Vulture Central have suggested this is in fact Gandalf - a heretical suggestion given that Gandalf is a fictional character without the power to manifest himself in silicon. We have, accordingly, emailed their details to the Spanish Inquisition."

I bet they didn't expect that....

....and yes I should get a life.

ahhh... 

By Michael Sheils Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 11:43 GMT

So that's where Osama's been hiding.

THIS IS SPARTA!

If you can't work out who I think it looks like, there's no point trying to explain

That's clearly an image of Osama Bin Laden 

By Jesse Melton Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 11:53 GMT

Yes.

It looks more like... 

By Stuart Rogers Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 12:11 GMT

It looks more like Papa Lazarus from The League of Gentlemen.

Oh, Dear. 

By Clay Garland Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 12:13 GMT

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst their weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope.

Easter Island statue? 

By Ian Ferguson Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 12:27 GMT

Looks like an Easter Island statue to me - it's all in the nose. It obviously shows that the advanced civilisation based there were masters of silicon computing long before ourselves. Just think of the memory capacity of a twenty-tonne stone face!

Baphomet 

By Steve Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 12:30 GMT

Looks more like Baphomet, or possibly the Goat of Mendez to me, though sitings of both of these are equally apocalyptic in tone.

Last orders, pls

How bored do you have to be... 

By JP Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 12:35 GMT

To scan a flash chip for random images???

I reckon... 

By Tim Cuthill Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 13:06 GMT

...that it looks a tad like Lemmy Motorhead meself.

Is it particularly speedy flash Ram perchance?

Gandalf is NOT fictional! 

By Anonymous Coward Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 13:26 GMT

Is there no limit to heresy these days? Gandalf was a mighty king in Southeast Norway back in the time before that powermonger Harald decided to tax everybody. Gandalf only taxed those who came too close to his castle.

His sons are rather notorious, though. They had a nasty habit of burning houses with their enemies inside, and were eventually killed by angry farmers.

Can't you see it's Confucius! 

By Wiffen Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 13:50 GMT

After a year living in China and visiting many temples I can inform you that it is in fact Confucius. Look at the eyes they are clearly Chinese. Jesus was Middle Eastern and was about 30 when he died; this is without doubt an older man.

It is obviously

Rob Zombie

Yeah right... 

By adnim Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 14:25 GMT

.... so what is so special about this? For thousands of years man and his imagination have seen images and signs in the most unlikely of places, Interpreting them in such a way as to support whatever their view of the Universe is. Personally I think it looks more like what was previously suggested, Lemmy, with a pentagram in the background. Perhaps we should not be waiting so much for the return of "the son of man", but listening for the clattering of horses hooves?

btw, I see an image of Jade Goody every time I look at the back of a bus.

I once. . . 

By Clay Garland Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 15:18 GMT

. . .Took a photo of a tortilla chip that had a hold in it that looked something akin to a dolphin.

Highly illogical man 

By Demian Phillips Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 15:58 GMT

Clearly it is "Hippy Spock" from yet another alternate universe.

If you look at it upside down 

By Silas Posted Wednesday 2nd May 2007 16:40 GMT

It looks like Ross Noble being fed to a shredder.

More like Spiderman

Has spiderman's eyes, and a beard. Gandalf dressed up as Spiderman? :P

It's Brian Blessed

Yep, It's definitely Brian Blessed

GANDALF IS NOT FICTIONAL 

By Steve VanSlyck Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 01:57 GMT

How DARE you say that Gandalf is fictional?!

I have several books Right Here that talk all about him! Crap on a crutch, where have you guys been?!

As alleged journalists you should KNOW by now it couldn't be published if it weren't true!!!! MOREOVER, there's only ONE book with Jebus in it! Sheesh!

He's not the Messiah... he's just a naughty boy! 

By David Oliver Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 06:26 GMT

Nor is it Gandalf or Osama.... it's Yosemite Sam from the Bugs Bunny cartoons!!

RMS! 

By Marko Grönroos Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 10:05 GMT

Clearly its Richard Stallman, saint IGNUcius of the Church of Emacs. He also often wears a halo. His appearance on the flash chip is a clear prophecy that Linux must be installed on the flash memory or at least it should be formatted with a free filesystem such as ext3. OOPS! I mean, not Linux but GNU/Linux! Or just GNU.

All hail GNU!

Haysoos on a chip? 

By John L. Lee Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 13:44 GMT

Obviously, a conspiracy by the Pope aimed at the Latin American community who seem to find a miracle in every knothole, subway station pee stain, and cheese sandwich.

How insensitive!

Maybe it wasn't the Pope! 

By John L. Lee Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 13:50 GMT

On a Samsung chip?...It might have been The Rev. Sun Myung Moon, our Unification Church "Seoul Brother" from Korea.

Jesus on a Chip 

By Anonymous Coward Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 15:43 GMT

Last time Jesus appeared on a chip, it was on a tortilla in Mexico. A woman flipped the tortilla over, and saw the face of Jesus. Ignoring the priest's assurances that this was not actually Jesus, she enshrined the tortilla and had people coming to venerate it. Not sure if it's still around - this was some years ago.

Anyway, this person looks a lot like Charles Manson. Or bin Laden, or just about anyone with longish hair and a beard. Why couldn't it even be Judas?

I have longish hair and a beard. 

By Silas Humphreys Posted Thursday 3rd May 2007 19:36 GMT

I therefore declare, ex cathedra, in my capacity as Pope Visible Eyebrows, that it is me. Since I am a Pope, and therefore infallible, the argument must now cease on pain of excommunication.

Twins? 

By Anonymous Coward Posted Friday 4th May 2007 03:29 GMT

Some of the above concepts lead me to ask, in a suspicious tone of voice, has anyone ever seen Jesus and Osama bin Laden in the room at the same time?

Back from the dead? 

By Rob Posted Saturday 5th May 2007 02:05 GMT

The Faith-based All-Powerful

(Luke 21:27): "At that time they will see America's spiritual leader Pastor Ted Haggard coming in the White House with power and great glory."
