Jesus? Looks more like Friar Tuck to me.

Walmart thermal receipt stays in car or somewhere else warm and gets selectively stained black to look like a bearded face of some sort.  Definitely not Jesus from my perspective.  Some germanic/anglo monk, maybe.  Possibly Gimli, son of Gloin. ;)

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

(1)  Those things decay with time.  If you've got one for something valuable, scan or copy it for your records.

(2)  I suspect if  you took a black and white printout of a picture (maybe in reversed colors) and laid it on some of that paper and exposed it to the sun, you'd get a print of the picture on the receipt paper.

Along about 1946 my Pop showed me how to do "thermography" by laying a negative on some regular photgraphic printout paper and exposing it to the sun for X minutes, and a brownish image would appear.  It didn't last long (days), but some brownish silver complex formed where the light went through, yielding a positive image.

You might try it with this on some receipt paper or even old-fashioned photo paper if you can find any:



(Hope that's OK with you, KD5NRH.  If not, I'll change it.)

I've got some more oldey-timey oldey-pharty photo tricks I'll 'splain later.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Rasputin....

I was thinking, "Late 19th or early 20th century someone."

Looks more like Oba....errr...Osama Bin Laden.  His spirit is locked up inside a Walmart receipt.  Looks like the perfect irony, eh? :laugh:

This is why you should take the receipt out of that little pocket thingy on the car battery.  Six months and a snowstorm later, you've got a dead NeverStart(tm), no readable receipt for it, and Jesus reminding you that you never go to church.
