Cross & Crown Cracker

     National news agencies are featuring the art of Extractionist Patti Burke.  She Recognized the Resemblances of Cross and Crown on a Goldfish cracker during Holy Week recently and Extracted the Resemblances by pointing them out and titling them - thus giving them meaning.

    “When I picked this one up, I knew he was special,” the Melbourne, FL woman said of her Holy Week discovery. “He had a cross on him, and he had a crown circle up by his head. Something I’ve never seen before out of all the Goldfish I’ve eaten.”

     Burke's art was even featured on Easter Sunday, when her pastor, D. Scott Worth, began talking about fish as a symbol of Christianity in front of the congregation of Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd in Melbourne.  “I think it’s a sign. I think it points to, I would hesitate to call it a miracle, but I think it points to THE miracle, which is Jesus Christ defeated death. And that’s what Easter is all about.”

     Burke hasn’t yet decided what to do with the cracker, so she carries it in an earring box padded by gauze. She tried to find out how the cracker — which is normally only printed with a smile — ended up with the cross and two circles. At first, she thought she’d won a special promotion.

     “I called Pepperidge Farm and said, ‘Hey, do you have some special promotion going on, I think I’ve got the lucky fish,’” she said. “They called me back and said there’s no way this could have been printed like that in the factory. ... They said it sounds like something miraculous happened and we don’t know how it happened.”

     The Replica Report would like to add that there appears to be a third Resemblance - somewhat of a gonopodium!! (a modified anal fin (it looks rather like a thin rod) that allows male fish of the families Anablepidae and Poeciliidae to briefly hook into the vent of a female fish to deposit sperm.
This fin is normally held back and the male fish turns it down and forward just before mating)

Extractionists in Florida Make the News

       In West Palm Beach, Florida, more than a few people Recognized several Resemblances in the same cloud and sent them in to news stations. The news outlets were also moved by the Resemblances and decided to cover them today.
       Many shared their images which showed different angles of the 'angel' cloud.
Cristina Pina thought the cloud resembled a sea monkey. While Steve Massie informed that “seeing shapes and faces in non-human objects is called “pareidolia.”
Nick Stanley even saw the dark lord – Lucifer, in the cloud. Jodi Guthrie was the first, but not the last, to send in a photo.

Church's Chicken

     We've all heard of church's chicken but this takes the cake! A congregation in Florida isn't happy about pictures of its chapel making the Internet rounds this week for an unholy reason: the building looks like a chicken.
      The "Chicken Church" -- also known as Church by the Sea in Madeira Beach -- went viral when a photographer noticed that, from just the right angle, the structure's round windows look like eyes and its roofing tiles resemble wings and a beak. Tourists, reportedly by the hundreds, now line up to take pictures of the visage.
      Dee Dee Parker, a longtime member of the church, told the Daily Mail that the Resemblance is "funny" and she welcomes the newfound popularity. But church employees interviewed by The Huffington Post disagree.
"We're not fond of it being called the 'Chicken Church,'" an employee, who asked not to be named, told HuffPost Weird News. "It's attracting people to us for all the wrong reasons. I don't think they're attracted to come in and worship, I think they're making fun of it."
She said that chapel, built in 1944, was not designed to look like a baby chicken.

     Here is the google map link if you want to see the chicken for yourself:
