Goa's phone numbers change from Nov 10, 2002. Prefix old number with a 2. New
numbers will be seven-digit 2XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the old number).

Most of us would see this image of Christ once told that we are
supposed to see it. Our brain is good at visualizing and imagining
faces of humans and animals in randomly distributed splotches,
patches, dots, etc, especially after it is appropriately primed. If
you look at the picture of this chapati with the face of Christ, and
rotate it 180 degrees, you see the face of Hanuman flying through the
sky with his long hair waving behind him. If you rotate the picture 90
degrees one way (better if you do it to your right), you see a poodle
with a well-trimmed brown patch of fur on its forehead and its tongue
sticking out, just as you would expect a dog to do. So this chapati
quite nicely caters to the needs of devout Christians, Hindus and
animal rights activists.

If any of you want me send you a JPEG file showing these three images,
please send me a personal email request. You are free to post it on a
website.

Cheers,

Santosh
