Around Azeroth: The great space octopus
Having delved into Judeo-Christian lore in yesterday's column, I figured we might as well explore some less ... mainstream religious beliefs today. Dedicated Pastafarians may see the holy visage of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in this nebula, but are they just grasping at straws? I'd have to call this a case of classic pariedolia. This grilled cheese sandwich, on the other hand, defies all reasonable explanation. (Thanks to Muagen of Beautiful Disaster on Eldre'Thalas [US-H] for the screenshot!)

My server has really been representing with the screenshots lately. :O
Or at least Muagen has.
I feel like I must take some now from an Alliance POV. XD
I have no idea where that is...but it's pretty.
I think I will put it on my work computer because no one will know it is from some *gasp* game.

Heh, where is that from?

I don't see the Flying Spaghetti Monster in that grilled cheese. It's obviously Crabby the helpful dungeon crab.

If I recall correctly, that shot is the sky over Deepholm. Had to finagle around the big angry orange vortex to catch the pretty lurking behind it. :P

Yep, just look up into the "sky" in Deepholm, but closer to the temple in the middle. The rock walls of the zone are busted open and you can see the cosmic squid in all its glory, proudly boasting "Take that, background of Eye of Eternity". The next time you dread heading to Deepholm to make friends with Therazane, look up for a moment.

Once you see the Nemo, it can't be unseen.
