'Buddha' appears on mountaintop
(newsphoto)
Updated: 2007-07-03 10:21
A human-shaped shadow in the middle of a rainbow halo appears on Zushan Mountain after a heavy rainfall in Qinhuangdao, North China's Heibei Province, July 1, 2007. The vision, which many tourists believed to be the Buddha, stayed for more than an hour. [newsphoto]

He was just checking in before the December 21st, 2012 end of the world deadline........
Something is going to happen that day. Something big. There's just too much shit pointing towards it.

That shadow is way to skinny to be Buddha. Looks more like Obi Wan to me.
In America I have bad teeth. If I lived in England my teeth would be perfect.

Yea, I just watched probably that same show. Now I can't decide whether to forego Christmas shopping and sending cards that year, or not. Maybe, if Angelina Jolie and I are the only two left on the planet, I can repopulate with her? I always look for the silver lining in any situation......

Here's hoping the human population self-regulates, and cuts itself in half out of sheer stupidity.
The only thing that will happen is the collective laughter of all the non-kooks will be able to be heard from space.
Yep its definatly the Buddha, if a lot of people say something is true then it must be, no need to apply logic to an optical illusion, he always seemed like a rainbow kinda guy anyway.
Besides it couldn't be Jesus, because he only shows himself in partially burnt grain products.
Man, Jesus tastes sooo much better than the Buddha.
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
That's a beautiful picture! I've always said this world needed more mystery to it, instead of all these scientists that have an axe to grind to prove everything.
Was The Buddha....gay? *mumbles something about the rainbow*
lol j/k

I just hope I'm off of work when it happens. I want to be able to put in a full week so I can get that check. It is a Friday and I'm sure my employer would have no problem hacking off a few hours for me not actually being there. Bastards!

History channel right? I saw the same show today and I agree with you. Too much of a coincedence for four different civilizations from four different time periods to actually state December 21, 2012 (they're equilivent to December). Just too dead one to be dismissed
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
So when i put my glasses on i am pretty sure that picture is photoshoped i will investigated later once i reinstall my photoshop but that smoke doesn't look right and that is way way way too even for any sunset shadow.
it should be elongated in at least one direction, not perfect like that.
for the second time in 24 hours i call fake.
besides buddha as we all know endorses coke products so he would have coke logo on him,
98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you''re one of the 2% who hasn''t, copy & paste this in your signature.

Also that like computer code thing. (I saw it too)

I agree nothing is going to happen. Wasnt the world supposed to end in the year 2000 also? were still here. Fortune telling and prophecy is crap. If nostradomus was so great why cant he send me the winning lotto numbers?
Looks like the virgin mary.
If the world does end Dec 21's 2012, I hope I've flown an F22, boofed Megan Fox, and lived through a real-life Die Hard situation. After that, I don't really mind if everything ends. Shit.... maybe I could do that all in the same timeframe..
Why is every1 discussing if the end of the world is the 21th December? I know it's off-topic forum, but still. I'd say it's Lucifer. Clearly.
Pretty cool picture
You know Cook.. you could boof Megan Fox while using an F22 to take out terrorists in many improbable ways. So you do all of those things at once. I reserve judgement on the picture, sounds like a) a hoax, or b) some weird scientific phenomena that can be rationally explained.

I've heard of the pole reversal happening before. I think the evidence had something to do with magnetite. I took a couple of freshman Geology courses when I was deciding what I wanted to be in life. Hehe. I remember something about the magnetite flowing and then changing course dramatically.
That show said that we are passing through the plane of our galaxy. The sun has polarity as do the planets (I think all of them do, can't remember though). If that's the case I wonder if the solar system has a polarity to it. And if it does, then I wonder if the Milky Way does as well. If that's the case then I could see it having some kind of effect on us, even if it's just a minute one.
I just want somebody to hold my hand on that day. I'm quite timid when it comes to catastrophic Earth changes.

I never heard anything about it ending in 2000. The only thing I heard about that date was that Y2K bug that didn't pan out for anything. I think the year 2000 was just a few quack predictions that were the equivalent of some locals somewhere. This is something a bit bigger though. It's like just about every religion in the world along with some astronomical events that are scheduled to take place.I agree nothing is going to happen.

I have always wondered if each religion is tapping into the same thing, something mystical, I'm not talking about the books and stuff. I mean the meditative aspects of them all. I think they are all the same but just got corrupted somewhere maybe. You know how men do those things for authority sake. But, if each one of the mystics of the religions are pointing to the same date then something is being communicate, I guess.

I can assure you nothing is going to happen on December 21st, 2012. There have been more dooms day predictions over the years then there are days in a year, all of them supported by "Evidence".
You know, the funny thing about that picture is that I read a book once in which the author described that exact same optical phenomena. It was a Sci/fi book and he used it as a minor plot device but the point is that it's a known phenomena.
You'll notice that the sun is behind the observer. The observer is seeing his own shadow cast on the water vapor fog and the halo of rainbow is just the sunlight being refracted and reflected back by the water vapor.
But a lot of people saw it. And I would think that someone would have maybe raised an arm or started walking and noticed the shadow start to correspond. Plus, if there were a lot of people seeing it at once, wouldn't there be multiple shadows?
===============================
I won't pretend to be an expert on optical effects but that fog might be difuse enough so that a person wouldn't percieve the shadows cast by other people. You see your own because you're looking straight down through it but looking sideways through that diffuse fog you might not be able to make out the shadows of other people. Probably depends on how close they were standing to each other.
And as for people figuring out that they are looking at their own shadows; never understimate superstition and the desire to believe as a means to ignore the obvious.
