Heh... saw this in my local newspaper...
The funniest thing though, is that the original painter's granddaughter just sent them a massive cheque to have it repaired...
I can't believe that she even thought for a second that she was restoring it at all.

Certainly not! - there is at least some proof that Bigfoot actually exists

Seriously though, that 'restored' picture sure looks like some of the eyewitness drawings of bigfoot I've seen.

I was in stitches at this earlier today. Reminds me of Children's art shows when they get kids to recreate images.

At first I though that new-look Jesus was peering from the corners of his eyes like a deranged person, but then it occurred that what I'm actually looking at might be pinpoints of light reflecting on scary, pupiless, demonic eyes!

It would explain why you never see them together, kind of like Batman and Bruce Wayne.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
