Images on Toast

Seems like the Toast Marketing Board is trying to tell us something. First the Virgin Mary appears, and now this:
Atheist sees image of Big Bang on a piece of toast

If you were going to see an image on a piece of toast, what would it be?

On the other hand, I've been looking at pictures of the shroud of Turin and I'm sure that, down near the bottom left, is an image of a piece of toast.

Snork?
Kitten, you seem to have a snag made with pork stuck in your nostril.

Perhaps the image is not that of the big bang.

My early life in an Xray unit and subsequent flaying by UV radiation makes me think
It looks more like a skin cancer.

But perhaps the black spot surrounded by circles is actually an image of the end of the universe as the universe coalesces into a point.

At which time the mathematical physicist make make assertions without examining their assumptions as to what will happen next.

Is this leading to 'Spicy Toast' and then all the toast reforming to make some avatar of multi taste loaf.

Soon we will be able to integrate this thread with that with the 'origami toast' comments in it.

Now there's a poser for the programmers: Devise a method whereby the ghost in the machine known only as 'Admin' can merge two or more threads so that anyone entering either/any will end up at the same place, regardless of which thread they started in.

This will mean that as all threads tend over time to become discussion sites for foods they will at that time have reached a state of 'themic equivalence' with other threads at the same point and by quantum effects become merged automatically. This means that all threads will eventually merge, saving us all the bother of having to go to many different threads each visit, and also, to be surprised when someone resurrects a thread which has become moribund.

The stradimobius is an excellent model too. Very lightweight.

If anyone reads Baen's Universe, there is a miniature white whale called Richard M. Moby in one of the Fish Stories who is in trouble with the law over whether he is a fish or not.

It easy to tell now - if the Japanese harpoon it in the name of science it was a whale. Else its cat food.

Mobius, Larrius and Curlius: endlessly repeated since the 1940's.
