The end is neigh, comrades. Here's Russia's own, brand new sign: a holy-words-producing baby leg.

Meet little baby Ali from the Russian Republic of Dagestan. According to his parents, the child periodically falls into a wailing fit of high fever and then breaks out in a curious, zig-zag rash that spells out words in Arabic. At first, the name of Allah appeared on his leg, followed by skin apparitions of Qur'an passages, followed by the arrival of the local reporter slew. The red scribles are believed to be signaling our upcoming Big Day.

Miraculously producing words twice a week, the prophetic baby leg beats out the other name of Allah nature sightings, tangentially one-uping Ikea Jesus, Virgin Toast, and Crucifixion Uterus.

The local nurses can't medically explain the skin discoloration, but theories include: "uh-oh," "miracle," and a heart-breaking suspicion with the words "human etch-a-sketch."

Little Ali's little leg.

A convinced nurse.

Ali forever upstages his big brother: The reporters make sure to specify that, unlike Ali, he has not exhibited any signs.
