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.)

"Oh my God, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits...they say 'ooooooo!'"

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.
