Man Claims to Have Discovered Fabric Softner Jesus

A British man believes he's discovered Jesus not in the New Testament, but in some accidentally spilled fabric softner. The man, Martin Andrews, recently spilled some fabric softner on a t-shirt. The resulting stain, he believes, is the Son of God. 

But Andrews wanted to be clear that the stain didn't resemble Jesus until you invert the stained t-shirt. Only then do you see Jesus: hands outstretched to the side, and his palms pointed heavenward. There even appears to be a slight halo surrounding where his head rests.

There was some typical guffawing at the claim, with many believing the image instead resembles a juggler tossing objects in the air. But Andrews is convinced it's the Messiah, telling the UK Metro "When the T-shirt's the right way up it doesn't really look like anything ... but when you look at it the other way up it's really Him."

Even Andrews' co-workers are skeptical at the veracity of the claim, "I showed my mates at work the picture and one of them said, 'I've heard you can find comfort in Jesus but you've found Jesus in Comfort!'"

Andrews believes it's Jesus, but he thinks it's also similar to "the Fonz", from TV's Happy Days. 

This isn't the first time someone has spotted Jesus somewhere in the United Kingdom, although it's the first such laundry sighting. His visage also appeared on the wall of a Chinese takeout in Sunderland and in the frying pan of a student in Lancashire. The Messiah can be anywhere it appears, even--now--in a fabric softner spill.
