Another Godly eggplant slice?

I'm beginning to believe that there's something special about the eggplants that grow in Pennsylvania. About a month ago, I posted about a suburban Philadelphia woman who discovered that the seed pattern in her eggplant looked like it was spelling out the word God. Last night, as I was slicing my own white eggplant for a broiled eggplant dish, I took a closer look and don't you know, but it resembles the that same divine word. Now, I realize that it's sort of a hard sell. It does look a little more like Gob than God. But it leads me to wonder if I shouldn't look more closely at my future eggplants. Maybe they've been trying to speak to me for years, and I just haven't been paying attention!

Maybe that eggplant really loves Arrested Development.

Looks like it says COW to me. (With an umlaut over the O, of course.)

I just don't see "GOD."

I see Cthulu, staring at me from the abyss, reminding me he's coming.

I think I'd prefer seeing "GOD."

I can see "god", I also can see "gob", but I also see a butterfly.

Looks a little like a nativity to me. Pretty close to GOD.
