Our God Is a Gator God

You can have your Allah eggs - we'll take our Gator God (from the Chicago Tribune):

Michael Wilk was tossing back a few beers with friends when he saw God on the side of his 4-foot-long pet alligator.

Without even squinting, Wilk noticed white markings pop out against a backdrop of black scales to form the letters G-O-D.

"When I first saw it, my jaw dropped," said Wilk, 25. "It's just sort of like a phenomenon on it."

That's been the reaction of almost everyone who has seen the gator. They liken its markings to images resembling the Virgin Mary that have appeared on everything from a grilled cheese sandwich to a viaduct under the Kennedy Expressway.

Wilk, a home remodeler with hopes of one day starting up an alligator farm, did not notice the gator's unusual markings when it was given to him in December by another Wisconsin man who could no longer care for it.

Wilk said he and a friend, who houses the gator in another town, wanted to rehabilitate the reptile, which was skinny and small despite being 12 years old.

Then a couple of weeks later, when they were hanging out in Wilk's basement, the letters jumped out at them.

"I was thinking when the guy gave him to us that he was trying to hoax us," Wilk said. "But it's not Wite-Out or anything--it's real."

It's about time the Almighty starting writing these things in English.
