Bizarre Shadows

Boobielicious!

Pornographic Pareidolia of the Day: From Josh Keppel at NBC Bay Area comes the bizarre tale of the “Two O’clock Titty” — a curious breast-shaped shadow that is cast every day around two o’clock on the West and East sides of St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco:

As drivers enter San Francisco via the Octavia Street off-ramp, and they crest the small hill at Haight street, if their trip is timed just right and the sun is out, they will be greeted by one of the funniest landmarks this city has to offer: the two o’clock titty.

Because of the unique design of St. Mary Cathedral, and the positioning of it geographically, a distinct shadow that resembles a woman’s breast is cast both in the morning and in the afternoon on the West and East sides of the church, respectively.

I first head about this on SFist, where they had a link to artolog’s photo stream from flickr with a picture of the afternoon shadow creeping across St. Mary’s Cathedral producing an image that as artolog states is, “better than the face of the Virgin Mary on a tortilla.”

Amen.
