Is The Nun Bun Still Alive?

On Christmas morning 2005 someone broke into Bongo Java, a coffee shop in Nashville, Tennessee, and stole the Nun Bun — the famous cinnamon bun that looks like Mother Teresa. I can attest to the resemblance since I saw it on my way across country in 1997. Well, it’s resurfaced. The Tennessean received a letter postmarked from Seattle that says “She’s in good hands.” Accompanying it was a photograph of a young bearded man resembling Jesus lying on a sunny beach holding the Nun Bun in his outstretched hand. It’s the third letter and photograph the newspaper has received from “Hu Dunet.” Nashville police closed the case last year.

Holy Sheet!

Jesus has shown up at Hardy’s Hardware in Manchester, CT. Thomas Haley was unloading a truck several weeks ago when he came across a piece of sheet metal with an oily stain on it that he says is the image of Jesus Christ. He and a co-worker bought it and put it on eBay. “I feel kind of bad just pawning off Christ,” Haley said, though it’s likely he’ll feel much better if someone clicks the “Buy It Now” button and forks over $10,000 for it.

Is His Bark Worse Than His Bite?

It started last Monday when Jim Holtz was on the way to a pawn shop. He looked across the street at the Hickey-Freeman Co. clothing factory and saw the image of Jesus on a silver maple tree. Now people are flocking to Rochester, NY, to check out the arboreal sighting. Many claim to see facial features, including the beard. One man says, “He looks like he’s sleeping.” Shhhh!

Corpus Crispi

Rosalie Lawson of St. Petersburg, FL was happy when she came across a buy-one, get-one-free deal on Lay’s sour cream and onion potato chips a couple of weeks ago, but even happier when she stopped putting one of the chips in her mouth because she saw the image of Jesus Christ on it. “I don’t know if we’re going to try and sell it or what yet,” she says. Meanwhile, the St. Petersburg Times is holding an online poll about the chip. At the moment, 15% of the voters think the chip looks like Jesus, 34% think it looks like Red Sox centerfielder Johnny Damon, and 51% think it looks like the late Jerry Garcia.

Holy Pair Gets Stoned

Last week Ethel Hartman of Jackson Township, Ohio was awakened by a mysterious flash of light shining on her bed. The next day her son was working in the garden when he came across a rock with the image of the Virgin Mary on it. He then found one adorned with Jesus Christ. The family welcomes people to come and see the rocks. They live just outside Massillon, in Jackson Township, at the corner of Amhearst and Traphagen Street. This place rocks. [map]
