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.

Mary With Pepperoni
Last Wednesday, which happened to be Ash Wednesday, a lunchroom worker at Pugh Elementary School in Houston, Texas, was washing a pizza baking sheet when she saw the familiar shape of the Virgin Mary on it. Word got around and soon crowds flocked to the school. The principal gave the baking sheet to the PTA to display on an altar outside a student’s house who lives nearby. The kitchen manager wanted the baking sheet back. The lunchroom worker, Guadalupe Rodriguez, wanted to keep it to set up a permanent altar. The principal played Solomon, negotiating a deal whereby Rodriguez keeps the baking sheet, the PTA gets to display it this weekend, and the kitchen gets a brand spanking new pan. Peace prevails.

Rock on, Jesus
When a Fort Worth, Texas, woman walked outside to get her morning newspaper a couple of years ago she looked down and saw Jesus smiling up at her from a rock. After keeping the rock as a doorstop for several years she decided to “share this miracle in order to expand it’s [sic] possibilities.” By offering it for sale on eBay, of course. She says “I think that is what He had in mind for us all along.” He must have had $50 in mind as the shipping cost too.

Tailgate Party
Since word got out that an image of Jesus appeared on the tailgate of a truck in Laredo, TX, people have been making the pilgrimage to see it. They light candles, take photos, and pray. Julio Radillo, who owns the truck, says he isn’t going to drive it for a while. When he does he’ll take the tailgate off and keep it as a memento. It will look good in the living room.

How Much Is That Jesus In The Window?
Hundreds of people are flocking to an apartment complex in Fort Worth, TX, to see the face of Jesus in a window. One woman who has been blind for years says she is seeing things for the first time, meaning her hand, her husband’s hand, and even her granddaughter. Another woman says she can walk better now. Transportation costs to the apartment are not covered by most HMOs and cannot be deducted as a medical expense on your taxes. Check with your accountant to be certain.

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.
