THE FOLLOWING IS FROM AN E-MAIL FROM MY FRIEND PATTY AND ALTHOUGH IT IS HUMOROUS, IT IS ALSO VERY SERIOUS, BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN WE HAVE OUR "15 MINUTES OF FAME"!
Just to show you how dingy the press can be: last Saturday my daughter and two of her childhood friends were having coffee at the coffee place in Plain City. Her friend, Michelle, started telling them a story about someone at her work had brought in pistachio nuts to share with the other employees the week before Christmas. Michelle pulled one of the nuts out and said it looked like it had a face on it. She did not say whose face – just a face. She thought it looked a little like George Washington! Someone talked her into telling Channel 10 News about it. Channel 10 called her back within ten minutes of her email to them. They asked if they could use the story on the air. She thought it was hilarious and said yes. She hadn’t gotten her nails done, but they insisted on HER holding the nut. To make a long story short, look on Google. Type in "face on pistachio" and see what you get. They are saying she saw Jesus on the nut. NOT ONE TIME did she mention Jesus. They made it up! I just looked at the nut, and Freddie Krueger comes to mind. Strange. Strange. Strange.
Ohio woman says markings in pistachio look like Jesus' face
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Some call a central Ohio woman a little "nutty," but she says to use your imagination.
Michelle Phipps, of Dublin, thinks an image on a pistachio shell she found has a striking resemblance to Jesus.
A co-worker brought the nuts into the office to share with other employees. Phipps said one of the nuts stood out from the rest.
Her co-workers thought they saw some other images in the nut.
"We all started joking about it and talking about it. One thought it looked like Jason from a movie, or Freddy Kruger or George Washington. All sorts of things," Phillips said.
The face is getting lots of attention on her Facebook page.
Regardless of who it resembles, Phipps said she plans to preserve it.
