DOCTORS who took an ultrasound of a man's testicles to find out what was causing him pain were astounded to find a gaping face staring back at them. When "faces" are discovered in unexpected locations they are often hailed as miracles, for example the mysterious appearance of Jesus in a frying pan or - even more improbably - on a toilet door in Glasgow.
But rather than attempting to load their find with religious significance the urologists who discovered it followed good scientific practise and sent it away to be peer reviewed.

The image of the man's face, seemingly in some distress, was sent to Urology, the International Society of Urology's official journal, and was published in the journal's September volume.

G. Gregory Roberts and Naji J. Touma, from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, had conducted the ultrasound to examine an unusual mass in the testicle of a 45-year-old patient.

Writing in the journal, they said: "The residents and staff alike were amazed to see the outline of a man’s face staring up out of the image, his mouth agape as if the face seen on the ultrasound scan itself was also experiencing severe epididymo-orchitis,” wrote the authors, referring to an inflammatory condition.

“A brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps ‘Min,’ the Egyptian god of male virility); however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation.”

He's likely to drop by anytime.

Edit: It also reminds me of Tom in Fr Ted: 'Doesnt it look like a face Father??'

Googled a piece about the face on the toilet door in Glasgow.

There is some debate over whether the face truly represents the Son of Man, or whether it is in fact Gandalf out of the Lord of the Rings, or even a member of ABBA.

There is lots of forums on boards, why not just post in ones that don't piss you off? Practically the only place you're going to see something like this is after hours.

WOW thats kinda freaky alright seeing the face of god via an ultrasound of ur own balls, wonder what kind of message 'he' is trying to send the poor?? Moses saw the burning 'bush' (may have been a womens fanny and not a bush, distorted thru time as the story was retold?). If i was ur man id get an ultrasound of the arse just to see what colour gods hair is.
