Virgin Mary Sandwich
The auction of a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bearing the image of the Virgin Mary has been pulled from eBay. The sandwich was put up for sale by Diana Duyser who claims that in the ten years since she made the sandwich and took one bite out of it (before noticing the face of the Virgin), it has miraculously never grown any mold. eBay pulled the auction because it claims that it doesn't allow joke listings (that's news to me). Looking at the sandwich, I can definitely see a face, but it doesn't look like the Virgin Mary. To me it looks more like a movie star from the 30s or 40s. Myrna Loy, perhaps. She should have said it was haunted. Would have been no problems then, because eBay definitely allows haunted stuff. Update: Here's another virgin mary sandwich on eBay.
Update 2: And here's the original Virgin Mary Sandwich, back up for sale. Most of the bidding must still be a hoax, because who's really going to pay $69,000 for an old cheese sandwich?

That's so funny that you say it looks like a movie star because I thought it looked like Rita Hayworth or something too!

I love the new sandwich photo (the one in Alex's "update." There's no face in it that I can see, but there IS a dog about to eat it. Would this make it a sacred dog?

i think it looks like a photoshopped autograph photo of shirly temple, but i saw it on tv twice in the last 2 days, so it is not photoshopped. i can't tell how she did it, but i dont think its real.

I'm going to have to join all the other people who ask - how do you know it's Mary? The same thing goes for all of the other manifestations of Mary or Jesus. I guess people believe what they want to...

yes, eBay definitely allows haunted stuff. I think the recipe is either frozen or exposed for a long time . Some more topping should me done ..
