Is that a face in your food?

Just a hint towards my protestant side: what is up with this recent surge of people seeing Catholic symbols in everyday things? I can understand that people sometimes see things in their food; however, how do they know that they are seeing Jesus in their pasta or Mary on the wall? Last I heard, they've both been dead for 2000 years and Polaroids were not in existence then. I do believe in miracles, but I think these people are trying to hard to find some.

Also to note, whatever they think of these events, this should not be taken to far.
