One of our LOL Headlines today was "A Face Appeared on an Irish Cliff... Is it Jesus or Gene Simmons? The story goes a little something like this... a San Francisco woman traveled to Ireland to reconnect with her Catholic roots. When she saw the "face" in the cliff, she immediately believed it was Jesus and started spreading the word. Not everyone saw it that way. In fact, some said it looked like Gene Simmons in his signature KISS makeup. What do you think?
To be honest, Laura thought it looked like George Washington.
