Michael Jackson may be gone to neveragainland but one family in Stockton, Ohio say he's back and appearing on a tree stump in their front yard. Apparently showed up the day he died.

Those that crack will win a pilgrimage to the spiritual home of their newly chosen faith, Muslims will go to Mecca, Jews and Christians will go to Jerusalem and Buddhists will go to Tibet.
