Looks like a "dirt is in the eye of the beholder" (or "Problem Is Located Between Your Ears") case, compounded with a poor understanding of anatony on the artist's part, perhaps. I could take out my Religion schoolbook and testify that I drew better six-packs when I was ten: shading and highlighting does not work that way.
Also: actual medieval crucifixes are even worse regarding the presence of alleged comedies:

Let me rephrase. I'm so much better at spelling than you, I act superior on accident. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The one in the blue--Mary, perhaps? seems to be trying very hard not to laugh and vomit at the same time.

I took the freedom of doing a bit of dodgeburn on the picture. It's really a case of unfortunate shading:

The writing 'The King's Glory' on top of the cross is the final straw, however.

English is my second language. What's your excuse?

I have to admit: I'm not entirely sure how that excuses you from having to use a spell-checker, especially on words like 'divine' and 'marvelous' which any spell-checker worth its salt should be able to catch. If this were a matter of syntax or inflection I'd accept the "Second Language"-excuse as a valid one, but hiding behind it to excuse for typos? 's Kind of lazy.

why the fuck aren't you people using firefox

Does Chrome have add-ons yet? Because that's pretty much the only thing keeping me from switching over.

Not yet, no. ):

It most likely wasn't intentional, but once you see it, you can't unsee it. And I think that says more about the state of our minds than the state of the Church.

Indeed. It also suggests, to borrow a Seth Myers line from last week's "Saturday Night Live", that the Vatican is working from the bottom of its complaint box.

Ish. It does have some and the list is growing. I've got ad-block, last pass, and X-marks on mine.

Pull up Chrome, go to the tools drop down list, click extensions.

Not really. I do have spell-check. But since my first language is Spanish and spelling in Spanish is a bit harder than spelling in English, that's the language the spell-checker checks; there are squiggly red lines under anything I write in English.

My other option is opening Word and copy-pasting everything I write onto it. See how that could get boring? I don't do that anymore, because yes, I'm lazy and 98% of the time Word finds nothing wrong with my spelling, so I stopped. My spelling is not atrocious or anything and I can mostly hold my own.

Mikey just needs to find a new hobby.

Chrome makes me happy. I just thought y'all needed to know that.

Lining barrels with it is a significant improvement. You'll get no argument from me on this issue.

How so?

Well, for one, Colombian Spanish doesn't mark a difference between "B" and "V", nor between "C", "S" and "Z", "J" and "G", "Y" and "LL", or "X" and "CC" when spoken, therefore you have to remember where each one is supposed to be used, instead of the other(s).

Example: The correct spelling for cow is "vaca", but it's pronounced (over here) "baca". Correct spelling for shoe is "zapato", but it's pronounced "sapato". We can't rely on their sound for identification. I think the Spanish can, though.

So, if I write "cazar", instead of "casar", the meaning of the phrase will take a whole new turn. "Me voy a cazar" means "I'm going hunting", "Me voy a casar" means "I'm getting married". Etc.

There's also several rules on where these litttle ones (`) go. They're called tildes, if you recall. They mark sound inflections and make a small difference in some words and a big one on the tenses.

"Acabo" is in present/(sometimes)future tense, "acabó" is invariably in past tense.

Thanks, I think I got it. So it's sort of a dialect thing, where the spoken language has changed but the spelling hasn't?

Yes, something like that.

The spelling shouldn't really change with the dialect, though, IMHO. If we mangle it a bit when we speak, then I guess that's inevitable, but I hope we always retain the proper spelling; even if we do sometimes go "UGH SPELLING RULES ARE ONLY HERE TO MAKE ME FEEL STUPID".

There was a big upheaval a couple of years ago when the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy), suddenly decide that horrible pronunciations would go on the dictionary, since some of them were widely used. Such monstrosities as "ésito", which should be "éxito", pronounced with an X, like exciting, not a freaking S. That sounds awful. Just imagine "esciting", instead of "exciting". Ick.

Anyway, yeah. We kinda dug our own grave.

If you have firefox, you can put both dictionaries on there. To switch between them, all it takes is R-clicking, go to check spelling, and click the appropriate dictionary. :D

1.) We're your only important internet friends, spellcheck in English.
2.) My hobby is golf. I can't do THAT when the sun sets, and one can only masturbate so much. So here we are.
3.) I'm using Firefox, maybe that's what spellchecks stuff. It doesn't matter.
4.) British people don't get to talk about a language they haven't spoke correctly for 230 years.
