A Twisted Sighting
A DJ on Eugene, Oregon’s rock radio station KFLY is selling a pretzel on eBay in the shape of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Tanner Haney says he found the twisted icon in a bag of Rold Gold pretzels a little over two years ago. The pretzel is in mint condition and comes with the original packaging stamped with the “Sell by” date. As of today, there have been 63 bids with the current high offer being $7,600.

There’s Jesus In Them Thar Hills
Burton Klatt was prospecting with his brother near Wikenburg, Arizona, when he found a funny looking small gold nugget. “I saw an image of a horse,” he says of the nugget that weighs less than an ounce and is smaller than a B-B. But when he brought it home, his wife Carole saw something different — the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. After keeping it to themselves for a year, they decided to share it with others. “I don’t see how anyone could think we’re nuts because they could look at it and they could see it,” Burton says, even though it does look a bit like a mother and child from the unreleased sequel, Saviour of the Planet of the Apes.

Divine Dumpling
Donna Lee of Point Place, Ohio, was cooking pierogis for Easter dinner when she noticed that one of them came out of the frying pan with the image of Jesus Christ burned into it. Seventeen people bid for it on eBay, with the winner, uh, forking over $1,775 for it. And that’s without even knowing whether it’s filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables. GoldenPalace.com is the proud owner, adding it to their growing collection.

Jesus Plastered!
Jeffrey Rigo of Pittsburgh, PA stepped out the shower Saturday evening to find an image of Jesus Christ in the water-stained plaster on the bathroom wall. He did what any sane person would do — he cut out the section of plaster, found the water leak, made a box, filled it with plaster, placed the “Shower Jesus” inside the box to dry, and posted it for sale on eBay.
Postscript: The plaster Jesus was bought by goldenpalacecasino.com for $1,999.99. They’re planning to add it to a traveling museum that will appear in cities nationwide.

Salty Salvation
A mother and daughter in Nebraska are selling a Rold Gold Honey Mustard Pretzel on eBay that they say looks like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. They hope to get $1,000 so the daughter can buy a horse. (Advice: Stop squinting so much. It’s a pretzel. One that sort of looks like a treble clef.)

The Shroud of Teflon
First there was the grilled cheese sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary burned into it that sold for $28,000 on eBay. Now a man in Prairie Lea, TX has a frying pan with Jesus’ face staring up from the bottom. He hasn’t decided what to do with it yet, but if GoldenPalace.com, the online casino that bought the grilled Mary sandwich, has any sense at all they’ll buy the frying pan and cook up one hell–I mean, heck–of a last supper.
