Mmm... expensive sandwich
I just read a news story that proves the old saying, "the truth is stranger than fiction." Respectable news agency, Agence France-Presse (AFP), reports that a 52 year old woman in Florida has a grilled cheese sandwich which appears to contain an image of the Virgin Mary. She has kept the sandwich on her nightstand, in a clear plastic box, for the past 10 years. (Yes, you read that correctly... she has had the sandwich for TEN YEARS!) Then, for some reason, she decides to put the sandwich up for auction on eBay. The bidding was insane, reaching a price of twenty-two thousand dollars. At that point, eBay took notice of the item and thought that it must be a joke, so they removed the listing as of this past Sunday.
UPDATE: The sandwich has been put back on the auction block and is listed on eBay once again. Who are the idiots who bid on things like this? If I could find them, I'd like to sell them a few things too!
