   +      =  

Some people see the face of Christ in their pancakes; other folks are more interested in creating their own miracles.

An inexorable sign of the ever-impending Apocalypse?

Signal of man’s restless and irrepressible technological advancement?

The sine qua non of cyber-dork exultation? 

All of the above, obviously.

Personally, if I want to synthesize an apotheosis of the Holy Spirit and the surreal, I turn to Sam Shepard’s True West. Among many other things, the concept of toast as salvation is addressed in some detail.
