Killer bees and pareidolia
Today I saw something about some really interesting, and terrifying, bees that live in Japan. They are huge, about the size of your thumb, and have a poison that they spray on you that melts your flesh. According to the thing I read, about 40 people die each year. Normally I love bees, but those sound nasty. I don't mind bee stings, since I am apparently not at all allergic, but flesh melting poison is bad.

Then on a lighter note, though less in touch with reality, a woman found the image of Jesus in a potato after praying about whether to make a potato salad to bring to a church event. After looking at the picture, I have to say I don't see it. But that is generally the case with pareidolia.
