Forget Mary in the grilled cheese sandwich Jesus in an MRI scan; my officemate and I saw a seriously spooky image today. We both saw something, but we can’t agree on what exactly we saw.
What do you think: Does this sunlight reflected off of a glossy-covered industry journal onto the ceiling looks more like a golgi apparatus or an endoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum.
Though, in all honesty, I think it looks like a hammer and sickle, Comrade.

Oh great – way to be subtle. You gonna show everyone the secret handshake next? Sheesh!

I think it looks like a flagellum and/or class-A ceiling spermatozoa.

Or maybe the spot at lower right is the sperm approaching the egg?

A glass skull, totally. Reticulum, perhaps – less shapely, and, frankly, a bit overweight. Definitely not the golgi apparatus. The little dots on the ceiling are actually a part of the ceiling. Just saying.

Oh you guys! If it’s a skull it’s totally not humanoid. I could see an argument being made for it being the Crystal Skull from that last horrible Indiana Jones movie. See how it’s elongated in the skullish region?
@Jana – the little dots on the ceiling are soooooo ribosomes.

The fact that media hasn’t descended on your building and a shrine been set up shows the liberal media bias against eukaryotes.
It’s a mad, mad, world in which we live…..

Yeah. Rush and O’Reilly have already called, but I’ve kinda been holding out for Maddow. Maybe I’ve got my sights set too high.
