Like Cheesy Mother Like Cheesy Son

Jason Amaya of Lake Station, Indiana was watching a religious TV show when he reached into his bag of Cheetos and pulled one out that he says looks like a miniature Virgin Mary standing with her arms crossed. He’s holding onto it and showing it to family and friends but doesn’t know what, if anything, he’ll do with it. Maybe he should get together with Dan Bell of Preston Hollow, Texas, who found a Cheeto in May he says looks like a praying Jesus with one arm that he nicknamed Cheesus and start a Cheetos creche.

Which Came First, The Faith Or The Egg?

Tracy Norrell of Burleson, Texas, was collecting eggs from his chicken coop Monday night when he noticed that, well, one of the eggs didn’t look like the others. It wasn’t smooth and had a cross indented in one end. He and his wife Pam think the egg was laid “straight from heaven” and is a message of encouragement. They haven’t decided what to do with the egg yet but say eating it is out of the question.

Flipping Out Over Mary

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Bianca Lopez of Glendale, Arizona, was trying to figure out something quick and easy to cook for the family. Batter Blaster pancake mix in a spray can to the rescue! When she looked at the last pancake of the day, she saw an image of the Virgin Mary burned into one side, not unlike one of Jesus spotted on a pancake in Connecticut in 2007. Lopez says the image has brought her peace and comfort, which is why she hasn’t eaten it, instead keeping it in the freezer right next to the Home Style Divine Image Eggos.

Mother Teresa Makes The Cut

Wendy Golini was stressed out about paying her bills while working at her family’s coffee shop in Melrose, Massachusetts, on November 4. As she worked, she prayed to Mother Teresa. Wiping the cutting board she was using, she noticed the image of Mother Teresa looking up at her. She was elated for about a half-hour, then “sat on the floor and cried, I was so moved.” She kept the discovery pretty quiet, only telling family and friends. “Nobody wants to be the crazy person who sees a divine entity,” she says. But once word got out she figured she’d better go public and risk it.

The Man Of Steel. Uh, Iron?

Mary Jo Coady of Methuen, Massachusetts, was putting away the laundry when she glanced down at an iron and noticed an image of Jesus on the bottom. “I picked it up and asked my daughters to take a look at it to make sure I wasn’t crazy,” she said. “They were as amazed as I was.” So she did what any sane person would do. No, she didn’t put it up for sale on eBay, she posted photographs of the iron on her Facebook page. The answer from her friends and relatives was unanimous—it indeed looked like Jesus. So then she did what any sane person would do. No, it’s still not up for sale on eBay. Yet. She went to the newspaper with the pressing story. Now that’s a new wrinkle.

Better Than A Plastic Jesus

You might remember Joe Isuzu from TV commercials years ago. Well now there’s Jesus Isuzu. Two weeks ago Jim Stevens of Jonesborough, Tennessee, spotted an image of Jesus’ face on the driver side window of his Isuzu pickup truck. Since then, whenever there’s morning dew the visage reappears, only to vanish later in the day when the dew evaporates. He’s tried rolling the window up and down but that hasn’t stopped it. “Of course, I’m not going to wash it,” he says. Of course.
