Pain in the Face

A 45-year old Canadian man went to the doctor complaining of testicular pain. When the doctor scanned the ultrasound he preformed, he was was shocked to see the image of a face staring up at him. Making this even weirder is that the face has a pained expression, which seems to be a reflection of the actual pain the man is feeling in real-life. Is this pure coincidence or a supernatural occurrence? There is no way to know for sure, but if you happen to know a psychic, tell her to call me. I showed this picture to a coworker and she said, "Oh people see faces in anything." I disagree. The face looks very pronounced and defined to me. No one looking at the picture is going to say, "I don't see it."

In fact the picture was so amazing that Dr. G. Gregory Roberts, and urologist Dr. Naji J. Touma, submitted their amazing find in a recent issue of the medical journal, Urology. In the article, "The Face of Testicular Pain: A Surprising Ultrasound Finding," The doctors claim that when they found the extraordinary tumor, a "brief debate ensued on whether the image was deity (perhaps "Min" the Egyptian god of male virility); however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation." They also claim that a perfect image showing up in an ultrasound is nearly impossible.
I remember a few years ago when I lives in Boston, everyone was freaking out about the image of the Virgin Mary showing up in the window of a hospital. I couldn't really make it out, it just looked like window condensation to me. I tend to be skeptical about these things, but this ultrasound picture is unarguably a face.
