Lets Give God A Big Hand
When some rocks fell in Paul Grayhek’s backyard in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, during Lent, it left a 9′ x 4′ hand-like rock formation that he calls the “Hand of God Rock Wall.” Not being selfish, he’s decided to share it. With the highest bidder on eBay, of course. (Current bid, $1,575.) The posting says “some disassembly required” and shipping isn’t included, but the winner will be “buying the rights, complete and exclusive rights” to the rock, including literary and movie rights. Hopefully once word gets, uh, upstairs that Grayhek is selling the rocks more of them won’t fall leaving only one finger on the hand extended.

Why Do You Think They Call Them Stones?
The counter of a clothing store in Redlands, California, called Cali Style, is made up of rocks held together by mortar. About two months ago the store’s handyman noticed that near the bottom was a stone that, if viewed from a few yards away, looks like Jesus’ face. “I really don’t know what I think,” store owner Jonathan Hernandez said, who perhaps not coincidentally also owns the store next door: THC Smoke Shop.

Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Holy Love
About a year ago, a man who identifies himself only as John Smith of Sydney, Australia, turned on a brand new lava lamp and saw a blob form that looked like Mary holding the baby Jesus. “It took my breath away,” he says. He turned the lamp off to preserve the image, built a shrine, and within a couple of weeks his life turned around and he met his “angel on earth.” He recently built a web site to spread the word and hopes they don’t get a heat wave in Sydney so the wax won’t melt.

The Afterworld Can Be Your Oyster
While walking near Johnny Mercer’s Pier in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, a man looked down and saw an oyster shell he thought looked like the Virgin Mary. Some say it looks more like Jesus. Others think it’s an angel. The guy who found it thinks he has a bonanza so he put it on eBay where as of this writing, the high bid is only $36. Plus $5 shipping, of course.

Watching From Above
Three weeks ago a client at the One Stop Body Shoppe in Arkansas City, Kansas, was laying on her back doing exercises when she noticed a water stain that looked like Jesus Christ on a ceiling tile above her. Since then, all the ceiling tiles that had been damaged by a leak in the roof have been replaced except that one. “Maybe he’ll be the only tile we won’t replace,” said Dominique Sartin, Body Shoppe staff member. And yes, they’re considering selling it on eBay.

Going Out On A Limb
Christopher Moreau was having a drink in his garden in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough when he spotted the likeness of the Virgin Mary on a tree, standing in her traditional open-armed pose. “It raises the hair on your neck, it gives you chills,” he said. His neighbor, and owner of the tree, Eulalee Hamilton says it’s just scarring from a limb that was lopped off a year ago. Moreau has invited people to come by and see it. Hamilton says, “Chris can have all the people he wants on his back deck but I don’t really want people trampling on my garden.”
