A papal visit from beyond the grave?

Fire Pope!

Did a bonfire lit in Poland as part of a celebration honoring the late Pope John Paul’s memory set the scene for a magic papal visit from beyond the grave? Some say yes. You be the judge. Link.

    Photoshop job for sure. The fire is way to clean looking. Also, most people are idiots and gullible ... they see what they want to see.

    here's the thing: this is a SNAPSHOT. it means nothing! heck, anyone could take a few thousand fotos of a bonfire and sort through them to derive some 'image' out of the flames. If that flame had existed in that particular position for more than a few seconds....then 'maybe'....there could be some discussion.

    Of course, I see the flying spaghetti monster in the clouds all the time...

    It's a joke, people, wow.

    Sometimes it's okay to just say "yeah these two things look kind of similar" without freaking out and yelling OMG SHOPPED YOU'RE ALL SHEEP.

    And it's not necessarily shopped anyway. Flames certainly can have that clean of an edge if it's caught during an updraft.

    I'm with Tom... You set some camera to take a picture every few seconds, then try and match it up with one of the thousands of pictures of the late Pope and find some that match. Isn't it crazy that they have to show a picture of the Pope next to it to show you that the Pope actually had the same stance once???? Thats because without the Pope's picture, its just one giant flame.
