Subject: Carrot shaped like Buzz Lightyear

A grandfather unearthed a carrot bearing an uncanny resemblence to the Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear while digging up his vegetable patch.
Clive Williams, 68, made the find while rooting around in his back garden for some vegetables for dinner.
The retired electrical engineer immediately ran inside to show his three grandchildren the strangely-shaped carrot.
Mr Willianms, from Henley-on-Thames, Oxon, said: "My wife Jane had asked for some carrots from the garden so I pulled a few out from the soil.
"When I saw this strange vegetable the resemblance to Buzz Lightyear hit me straight away and I just thought 'my gosh'.
"I've never seen any of the Toy Story films but it was uncanny, it dawned on me immediately.
"I ran inside and said to the grandchildren, 'I've got a competition, who can guess which Disney character this is?', immediately they all shouted 'Buzz Lightyear!'.
"I've grown carrots for about 10 years and there is particularly stoney ground where we live, so the veggies sometimes tend to fork.
"However, we've never seen anything like this, I couldn't get over how much it looked like Buzz."
Buzz Lightyear is a toy space ranger from the Toy Story films voiced by Tim Allen.

Very cool! They're obviously atheists or they might have thought it was Jesus.
