better than the face of the virgin mary on a tortilla

I've lived here for over 30 years, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I was initiated into one of the secret wonders of San Francisco, the so-called "two o'clock titty" of St. Mary's Cathedral, which appears at 2 pm, and is a staple of academic life for Catholic schoolboys.

Oh the Saint Mary's tit. It appears in the morning on the west side as well. A friend of mine pointed it out to me about 30 years ago as well. He said, that's why they call it the "Mother Church."

Perfection in architecture. I always wondered why it was design with such odd shape that made no sense to me but I guess here is my answer.

I dunno, this seems like a bit of a stretch. I would've never seen a titty without someone telling me I was supposed to be looking for one. I guess there's something wrong with my brain chemistry that prevents me from visually locking-on to disembodied boobs.

You know, that is so weird. Just today I noticed this building from the window of a co-workers office. I've been in that same building for 9 years, and only noticed it today. And then today somebody posts this photo on pownce. Weird.
