Jesus, unlike mere mortals, has omnipresence capabilities, which is why he can be simultaneously found atop a Ugandan mobile phone mast (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/22/mobile_phone_mast_miracle/), on a Romanian wardrobe door (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/01/wardrobe_simulacrum/), and in a Sussex hawthorn bush (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/18/jesus_hawthorn/).
Yup, it's moving mysteriously on an epiphanistic scale, and here's the latest apparition: a cloud Jesus hovering serenely over Mount Sinai:
This revelation comes courtesy of video author Brian D Martin of the US of A, who classifies it as "really cool".
Well, we went and had a look (http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/04/25/cloud_jesus.kmz) for ourselves on Google Earth (the unenlightened among you still worshipping Google Maps should click here (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/04/25/cloud_jesus.kmz&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=28.572219,35.370894&spn=0.017827,0.029097&t=k&om=1)):

Hmmm. We're not entirely convinced by the cloud Jesus, although there's no arguing with the Peruvian sand dune Messiah (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/15/google_spots_jesus/), for which no plausible scientific explanation has yet been offered... ®
