If you thought Our Lady of the Tortilla was impressive, wait until you read this:

BBC News wrote:Hordes flocking to 'miracle' lamb

Palestinians have been flocking to see a lamb which seems to have a birthmark spelling out the Arabic word for God, "Allah", in its coat.

Owner Yahya Atrash, from the West Bank town of Hebron, told Reuters the animal was born on Monday, when militant leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was killed.

He told Reuters the timing was "clear evidence of God's existence".

Sheikh Yassin, spiritual leader of the Hamas militant group, was killed in an Israeli missile strike.

Israel says he was involved in planning suicide attacks.

"This sheep was born in memory of the martyrdom of the great hero Sheikh Ahmed Yassin," the farmer said.

"We hope that the birth of this sheep is a lesson for the living in the same way... the martyrdom is a lesson for us here in Palestine."

Many Palestinians travelled through several Israeli army checkpoints to view the lamb, who some claim also has "Muhammad" written on his other flank, after the Prophet.

The link has a picture of the lamb.

Most likely bleach. Its birth on the day the Hamas leader was killed would be just a bit too much of an coincidence... also, I've got some experience with Arabic, and that looks absolutely nothing like Arabic. The photo's not too good though, so I'd have to have a closer-up pic to check for sure...

Bah they are all wrong. Once when I was drunk I found a potato chip that was in the shape of Sylvester the cat. This just proves that Mel Blanc is god.

The Isrealis should abduct it and turn it into dinner.

Have a very nice day.

Have it with some pork.

Having no experience with Arabic, I can't say much about the writing. But it does look like a bleach job.

This kind of miracles are nothing new. There had been similar cases in the past.

No, kidnap it. The term "abduct" should only be used when space aliens are responsible.

Chuck Jones is God. Mel Blanc is his prophet.

Anybody remember back in the 80s when a cow had the Mickey Mouse Logo in its spots. That must have been a clear sign that Mickey Mouse is real.

At times I can bear a striking resemblance to Alfred E. Neumann, does this mean he is God and I am like this lamb?

OK, i did some searching, and found what the name of Allah is supposed to look like in Arabic... I can now say pretty definitely it's a bleach job.

Unfortunately it's a tripod.com thing, so I can't just post it... here's the URL of the site where you can find it. Scroll down and it's at the top left of the Clip-Art section.
