Hot Off The Griddle
While cleaning a griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant in Calexico, California, last week, a chef looked down to see what appeared to be an image of the Virgin Mary on the metal. The next day the Rev. Gerardo Fernandez of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church confirmed that the image was indeed a likeness of the Virgin. The griddle has been taken out of the kitchen and put on display in a storage room which the restaurant’s manager says will be renovated so people can continue to check out the griddle for free. So far more than 100 people have dropped by to view the ghostly griddle, including Renegado and Mr. Tempest, two Mexican wrestlers who were in town for an appearance at the local swap meet.

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.

Jesus On The Half Shell
In 1972, Joan Reed Carter and a friend were walking along a beach in Fort Lauderdale when they looked down and saw a seashell that looked like Jesus Christ. Her friend didn’t want to take it home because her husband was an atheist, so Joan kept it. Over the years she kept thinking she should make the shell public. “I kept thinking I should do something around Christmastime. But I didn’t,” she said. But now with Easter coming, she decided it was time. Of course there are those who say it’s the skull of a catfish. Then again….

Want To Buy A Used Mercury Saviour?
As with any car dealership these days, sales are slow at Jarrett Ford Lincoln Mercury Dade City, Florida, but hopefully they’re about to pick up. A 3-foot tall stain has appeared on the used car sales manager’s office door that many think looks like Jesus Christ. Can wrist bands with WWJB (What Would Jesus Buy) be far behind?

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.
