“Last supper” mirror image – bollocks

So, some dude got all drunk and started playing around with Photoshop in the middle of the night. He used Leonardo DaVinci’s “Last Supper” painting and super-imposed a reversed copy of it onto itself. Then he claimed to see all sorts of stuff in the merged version of the painting: a figure with a baby in it’s arms suddenly appears left of Christ and there’s also a grail visible in front of Jesus.
“DaVinci Code” followers from all over the world in turn crashed all the servers that host a high-res version of the painting.

I downloaded a version of the image from some place else and went through the superimposing exercise.

Here’s the original (click to view in high-res):

And here’s the version with a mirror copy superimposed (click to view in high-res):

You be the judge.

I also created a version of Bush’s portrait using the same technique as above. As you can see he suddenly has four ears and looks a lot like Marshall Applewhite – there you go:
