Malaysian villagers amazed by "Allah meat"
2009-09-30
A family of Malaysian villagers became the talk of the town after they found the word Allah, meaning God in Arabic, inscribed on meat bought from the local market, the country's press reported on Tuesday.

Housewife Rashadah Abdul Rani, 57, said her son bought the meat from a market in the village and it was her daughter who discovered the inscription.

"I cut the meat into six pieces and soaked them in the water. It was my daughter, who was helping me in the kitchen, who saw the word "Allah" on all six pieces of the meat," Rani told reporters at her house in Kampung Alur Gunung.

Rani said the discovery had changed her plans of cooking the meat for feast and said she would now dry the meat and keep it to use for medicinal purposes.
No doubt it'll cure your kids' polio...

What the hell....?

Was this goat meat? Nobody in their right mind does this to good beef.

Oh, wait....

#10  I remember getting a "HOLY PRAYER CLOTH" (Printed heavy paper) from the REVEREND IKE.
it was printed so the angle you used to look like either Jesus's eyes were open or closed.
Enclosed was a printed statement that REVEREND IKE had prayed over it(Bullshit) and if you sent 5 bucks hthen Jesus's eyes would open for you and grant your wishes.

I sent him a photocopy of one side of a five buck bill, printed on one side just like his HOLY PRAYER CLOTH (Paper) Was.

He never bothered me again, but I have to wonder just how many suckers he fooled.

#9  I recall several years ago someone was hawking a burnt piece of toast supposedly bearing the Virgin, Mary's likeness.

Got a lot of publicity, no idea what happened to that particular bread slice.

#7  Sometimes the patterns we find are a little hard for others to discern.

Or care about. I'd have made a youtube video of me BBQing them. >:-}

#4  @lotp: Sure that's ONE theory and I GUESS it's possible. But I am putting my money on Allah inscribing his name in pork chops.

#3  It was my daughter, who was helping me in the kitchen, who saw the word "Allah" written in crayon on all six pieces of the meat
Oops! Mystery solved.

#2  This stuff happens all around the world. From time to time there are reports of an image of Jesus on various food items, which are either a source of wonder to the faithful or cynically hawked for a large profit on eBay. The specifics of the religion are secondary.

Our brains are wired to see patterns. Sometimes the patterns we find are a little hard for others to discern.
