more stupid news (non herp)
MIAMI (Reuters) - An online casino won the eBay bidding for a decade-old cheese sandwich bearing what some people consider a likeness of the Virgin Mary and immediately began hawking Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese T-shirts.
GoldenPalace.com's bid of $28,000 was the highest offer for the sandwich when bidding closed late on Monday, the Internet casino's Web site said.
The seller, Fort Lauderdale, Florida resident Diana Duyser, says she made the cheese sandwich 10 years ago and after taking a bite, saw "the Virgin Mary staring back at me."
In her eBay ad, Duyser said the sandwich has been kept in a plastic case for a decade and has developed no mold or bacteria. "It is like a miracle," she said.
"I would like all people to know that I do believe that this is the Virgin Mary Mother Of God," the ad said. "That is my solemn belief, but you are free to believe that she is whomever you like, I am not scamming anyone."
GoldenPalace.com said on its Web site that the "sacred sandwich" had received more than 1.7 million hits since being posted on eBay. The company's chief executive, Richard Rowe, said the sandwich would be used to raise money for charity.
The T-shirts, in various styles bearing a picture of the sandwich and a GoldenPalace.com logo, sell for $19.99.
"We believe that everyone should be able to see it and learn of its mystical power for themselves," Rowe said.
----------------------------------------------
Ahhh! the mystical power of cheese.
Now sure I can see the likeness of a female face, buy why is it always the Virgin Mary? why not the ghost of Gretta Garbo? I guess "miracles" make better money on e-bay.

Hmmm, I wonder what the likeness of Elvis on a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich would go for?

I have to admit, it really does look like a woman's face on the sandwhich. Pretty neat regardless.

Why is it always Mary or Jesus that people see?
Nobody ever says...."I see Christina Applegate in my chicken soup"...?

It looks alot more like Marlene Dietrich than a religious icon. When people start seeing religious imagery on their grilled cheese sandwiches its' time to vacuum the gene pool.

Ditto. Whenever there is a female image on anything, it's GOTTA be the virgin mary.

Looks kinda like Grace Kelly to me.
She was a fine looking woman in her youth.
Thankfully she has been reincarnated in sandwich form.

Yeah Marlene Dietrich hit it on the head.. either that or the virgin Mary got really vamped up for her sandwich portrait.
I really need to embue some random household objects with supernatural religious type qualities and start selling.
