The latest manifestation of the theistic God: meet Moses the Divinely Marked Cow.
This has got to be real. As his owner says, “I think it’s a sign of divine intervention. . . I’m in the breeding business. I know a thing about reproduction and genetics, and I don’t think this could happen again in a million other cows.”
98 million cattle in the US in 2000, so I guess there are a hundred or so of these miraculous critters every year . . .
Not to mention that the population of cattle turns over every few years so that in the average human life time this would amount to well over a billion cattle or a thousand crosses.
How long until this beast reaches sainthood?
How do you know it hasn’t?
Why do people from Connecticut (35 miles from Providence, Rhode Island) have a deep down-Maine accent?
Lucy! Someone has some ‘spainin to do!
bric – how can you be so cynical so close to the savior’s pretend birthday! (after all not all of that hundred are born so close to the winter solstice, just many of them)
The lady might know a thing or two about breeding – but she seems to need to learn a little about the nature of melanocyte migration during embryogenesis. Still the guy seemed to see the amusing side.
As an aside I’ve got to wonder why you’d call a calf with a cross on its head after a (fictitious) old testament jewish guy. I would have thought that an apostolic name might have been more suitable.
Reminds me of a Whitlams song – She was one in a million, so there’s five more just in New South Wales.
You can’t be possible be serious…commenting on this…? this was a joke right? In case you are interested I have seen a cabbage leaf with a Jesus face imprinted-Turin shroud look alike-Please drop this line, oops, cow- of reasoning..
That mark is the silhouette of Marilyn Monroe over the street vent! Seriously. Look at it again!
Definitely Marilyn. I entirely concur.
If that’s a cross, it’s the most unintelligently designed one I’ve ever seen.
Oh, good. I’m not the only one who thought that.
I think it’s a brine shrimp. A lot of my sea monkeys looked liked that.
Is that supposed to be a cross?
More like Casper, the friendly ghost than anything to do with Jebus, Holy Ghost.
Yes, it’s a sign from God to start taking advantage of the gullible yet again.
In varying forms, such significations are common, and the reason the CSC at the DI exists. For, all life signifies that selling books feeding the pareidolia urge is a divine calling.

It’s obviously an old-style cigarette girl with the tray in front.
It’s a sign to bring back smoking to cinemas.
I vote for a mutated Spanish 7.
Scratch that. It’s her: http://msp209.photobucket.com/albums/bb299/india-kiki/Lady-Burlesque.jpg
I’m pretty sure the holy cow is supposed to be a completely red heifer without a single white hair, born Israëli soil.
And that mark is a kris not a cross. I guess that means the Lrod spels reel gud laik.
A young bull calf on a dairy farm would need to be holy to avoid a future as veal.
That’s a cross, as in crucifixtion cross? Looks to me like Geezer God was on a bender when he did that.
I’m going with “X marks the spot” for the poor thing when it makes it to the abattoir.
hmm. 1.5 billion cows on the planet, so even if the figure of one in a million is right (which I doubt) there’s thousands of these guys around.
What does “t” stand for anyway? Thor?
Or is there some god that doesn’t capitalize it’s name?

GAD, the ‘t’ is obviously for Tarvu. Do not mock the Tarvunty or Amzamiviram during this sacred season of Thelvol Hatty Haynu!
I’d stick with Thor, since it sort of looks like a warhammer, as well.
I wonder how many minutes they will spend on tomorrow’s “Fox and Friends” discussing the implications of this mark on the beast?
Will prediction markets now go long on milk? Will these goofballs?
The real Christmas miracle would be if wire services did not actively look for this kind of thing, but that would require a different kind of viewership.
Oh, and did God run out of pancakes or something?
The guy says he hopes the cross is “a sign of things to come.” Like being crucified? Shit…
A cross? Is that all they see? Impoverhished imaginations, they! I see a hummingbird, a ballerina, and a butler, to boot.
I think it looks like a flower, perhaps a rose? The horizontals are like petals.
Well, actually, I just changed my mind. I am having a come to Jesus moment now … all because of that cow
God isn’t even trying anymore.
I still say it’s a target for the bolt gun to come.
That’s not a cross. It’s a faucet.
It’s a message from God that they should take up the worship of clean culinary water – a technology which has prevented untold billions of untimely deaths.
Here we go again…a modern version of the Golden Calf!
Looks a little like a compact machine gun to me.
hitler cats are more interesting.
Here’s a horse with the Holy Ghost!!
