Burning Some Toast (looking for Jesus)

An act in which a person offers random ideas that may somehow be related to a situation, however unlikely, in an effort to stumble upon a good idea. Similar to brainstorming, but when unexpected or unnecessary. Although either the entire phrase or the truncated version is acceptable, the entire is better used in an explanatory sense after a random statement is made. Derived from the law of averages and the concept that if one looked at enough pieces of burnt toast, eventually one would find toast that appeared to have Jesus on it (or any other object or fictional character said observer desired)
