Jesus appears on Massachusetts woman’s iron

Published on November 29th, 2009

“I didn’t panic,” [Mary Jo] Coady told the Herald. “I was carrying the laundry, looked down at the iron and there was the image of Jesus. I picked it up and asked my daughters to take a look at it to make sure I wasn’t crazy.”…

My faith was down, but seeing this made me think, wow, Jesus is there.”

To me, it looks more like René Descartes. But I’m probably just in denial.

Thanks, K B

Sphinx, Mona Lisa, Ben Franklin, Three noses. If Jesus wasn’t busy putting his picture on this lady’s iron, maybe he could have saved the cops in Washington.

Definitely the Mona Lisa

# 3 Sam said, on November 29th, 2009 at 5:47 pm

I see the Mona Lisa or the Cydonia face. Also my dresser drawer looks like it’s smiling at me and I really want some cookies.

# 4 McCullough said, on November 29th, 2009 at 5:47 pm

Agreed, Mona in a straight jacket. But hey, at least this looks like something.

Let’s hope her life is happy from now on. She also needs to carefully examine all of her grilled cheese sandwiches for further communications from Yahweh.

My vote is on Ben Franklin. The woman is sadly mistaken.

And the Shroud of Turin was labeled “Dry Clean Only”

Of course I was ironing holy socks

The really weird part? The “Jesus Saves” t-shirt I was ironing now has a picture of an iron on it!

OK, OK, no need to throw things…

In these times of financial strife, I think the thing to do is start crafting holy faces onto everyday items, and flood ebay with them. Honestly, if people are that stupid, it is the least we can do to relieve them of some cash. I have a bottle of hand cleanser right here….

That is an image of Mohammad. This is really bad for that iron.

Here’s a larger photo:

It really doesn’t look like much.

# 15 deowll said, on November 29th, 2009 at 6:48 pm

I went to church this morning and donated.

To me it looks like she needs to clean her iron because she’s got crap on it.

The really disgusting part is the way the news crews run right, over falling all over themselves to put this crap on television. Really, we could do with a total ban of religious faces appearing on Dvorak.org/blog.

# 20 Faxon said, on November 29th, 2009 at 7:00 pm

I am a news photographer. I once had to go and shoot a sawn off tree limb because the sap oozing out of the limp stump looked like something to some people. I won’t even dignify this post with what religious figure it was, but there were glass candle jars all over the place below the sappy tree stump.

# 21 McCullough said, on November 29th, 2009 at 7:26 pm

#20. Hey YOU photographed it, that makes YOU part of the problem.

The correct thing to do would be to quit your job.

Just kidding.

Maybe she just needs to turn the iron down a bit.

When they sell it on eBay, her husband will finally forgive her for ruining his best shirt.

You’d think that God and Mary and Jesus, etc. would be able to get a better pic of themselves. Heaven must not have caught on to digital images, yet. Still making albumin prints or some such.

GOD IS A LUDDITE.

# 26 chuck said, on November 29th, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Why do all these images of Jesus (and also Mary) all look like Caucasians? Jesus (and his mom) were both Jews of Middle-eastern descent.

# 27 conrack said, on November 29th, 2009 at 9:32 pm

Jesus is crying…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofOj4Okfc0I

#26. There’s a scorch marked iron in Massachusetts that says otherwise.

# 29 Troublemaker said, on November 29th, 2009 at 11:38 pm

Jesus sure does get around these days…

# 30 pwuk said, on November 29th, 2009 at 11:48 pm

Did HE do the ironing? Thought not the lazy bastard

# 31 Glenn E. said, on November 30th, 2009 at 2:07 am

There is this species of grab, that’s native to Japan. And it’s shell is in the shape of a human face (oriental). It’s said that his happened as fishermen tended to throw back the crabs that most liked like their beloved emperor. And only kept those that didn’t. So those were the most successful at breeding. And the features on the shells, were refined even more, over the centuries. Until now, when ALL the crabs caught there, have this face shaped shell. So they’re eaten anyway.

That’s how it is with the face of Jesus or Mary, appearing on or in things. People only take notice of these scorch marks. And ignore all the others that didn’t look like anything “holy”. And BTW, there are so many depiction of Jesus, over the centuries, with either long or short hair. How can anyone know which is the correct one to look for in a scorch mark?

Looks more like Steven Wright to me.

# 33 Eric said, on November 30th, 2009 at 4:28 am

#30 – I thought it was that the crabs with “faces” on their shells were thought to be the spirits of fallen warriors, hence throwing them back out of respect.

Anyway, I watched the Monty Python Life of Brian documentary on IFC the other night. Amazing how right they were about religion.

Pretty much explains why she was recently divorced.

I’m pretty sure it’s Fabio.

Last night before going to bed I went to take a dump. It was smoother than usual, and when I went for the paper I thought I heard a choir of angels. So after the wipe I couldn’t resist and I took a quick look. Lo and behold the face of Jesus our lord and savior was looking out at me from inside the ivory throne. I was so startled I flushed straight away. From now on I’ll keep a camera in the crapper.

Hey dumbass, it is nasty starch buildup.

Well I did eat a lot of potatoes but,,,

If you get an iron with a Teflon bottom, you never get images on the bottom of the iron.

# 42 Improbus said, on November 30th, 2009 at 7:01 am

Oh brother.

Home Tip number 47
Scorch marks on irons are easily handled with some steel wool and a little elbow grease.

# 44 The Monster's Lawyer said, on November 30th, 2009 at 8:08 am

In a related stroy: Worshipers of the Holy Iron of MaryJo received second and third degree burns when the holy relic unexpectedly emitted a hot gas from the many eye holes that appear around the image. Some believe that the scorching is a sign that they should take the wrinkles out of their lives. Many ironites had burns to the lips when the icon unexpectedly heated up as they kissed the image. Said one enthusiastic follower, “He’s hot.”

“I didn’t panic,” [Mary Jo] Coady told the Herald.

Why would anyone panic from looking at a stain on their iron? I think this woman is a few beads short of a rosary.
