Cross on the coconut tree in Keningau

If you’re a Christian in Sabah, maybe you’ve received the SMS about the so-called appearance of a cross on a coconut leaf, just like what happened in Palembang, Indonesia last Easter. It made it to the Daily Express today but they haven’t got the balls to publish the pictures. Only people praying and taking pictures of the tree.

My mom asked me to go there and take the pictures/videos but I declined. She’s down with flu so she can’t go. Anyway, a few pictures managed to find its way to my inbox so here I am publishing them.

Cross or not? I think it’s just a case of pareidolia - a phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. You can check out another pareidolia - the face of a monster on a pinang tree here.

Wriggly House

Take a look at this house. For those with motion sickness like me, I think I will vomit just standing in front of this. Probably the architect had too much to drink when he designed it.

More pics after the jump. Anyone has any idea where this is located and story behind it?
