My Elvis Detector says it's not The King of Pop, but The King himself.

Well, ahem, if I told this as a joke, you'd say I was trying to insult people and I would get a well-deserved remark about breaking the forum rules. But it's serious, apparently: the Virgin Mary has appeared in the shape of a bird's dropping. I don't know what to think of it, but since I saw the name of Allah written on a pancake, exhibited in the museum of Lahore, I'm no longer surprised at anything.

I see it :lol:
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."

The Pharaoh of Pop?

Field Museum Bust A Spitting Image Of Jackson
People Noticed Long Before King Of Pop Died
CHICAGO (CBS)

The blogosphere is abuzz about an ancient Egyptian bust at the Field Museum that seems to be a spitting image of Michael Jackson.

The Chicago Sun-Times' Michael Sneed reported Wednesday morning on the bust, which dates from the New Kingdom Period between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C., and has been on display at the museum since 1988.

BRILLIANT! ... and (to repeat an old post) have you noticed the similarity between
Seleucus Nicator and Michael Douglas, and between Constantine the Great and Sylvester Stallone? Not to mention, of course, Marcus Aurelius (in Gladiator) and Obi Wan Kenobi?

Wow, Seleucus Nicator really is a dead ringer for Michael Douglas! I've seen that bust a million times, I can't believe I never noticed that before.

Oliver Stone should have asked him to make a cameo.

Well, he does look a bit like him, but he really reminds me of another actor whose name escapes me.
