Got Jesus?

I hope this thread doesn't offend anyone, but I love these kinds of stories:

Crosses in potatoes appear to online sellers

Move over, Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese. Step aside, Fish Stick Jesus.

Online bidders, meet the Holy Cross Potato. Both of them.

Yes, the 2009 holiday season bestowed (at least) two miraculous spuds with crosses at their centers. Aside from the sizes of the spuds, the main difference is price.

The potato discovered first, by Dennis Bort of Brunswick, Ohio, on Christmas Day, was listed Tuesday on eBay with an asking bid of $1,000. The second, found by a couple in Marion, Iowa, on New Year's Eve, was on sale with bids starting at $2.

Hungry for Miracles? Try Jesus on a Fish Stick

1. The Miracle Tortilla of New Mexico
On Oct. 5, 1977, Maria Rubio of Lake Arthur, N.M., was filling a tortilla with eggs, chiles and beans when she looked in her skillet and saw something that would change her life.

''It looks like our Lord Jesus Christ,'' she reportedly told her daughters.

Shaken, the family drove to a church in the nearby town of Dexter, where a priest tried to convince her that it was all a coincidence. Rubio nevertheless persuaded the priest, however reluctantly, to bless what was her day-old breakfast.

2. The Jesus Fish Stick

News of the Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary last week spurred Fred Whan of Ontario, Canada, to dig into his freezer for what some may believe to be a heavenly work of cod -- a burned fish stick resembling Jesus.

The 40-year-old man says he was cooking dinner for his kids and other children he was baby-sitting when the blessed event occurred. "No one wanted them because they were burned," he said. "So I thought I'd better give them to the dogs."

3. The 'NunBun' of Nashville, Tenn.

A good cup of coffee is hard to find, and so is a breakfast roll with an uncanny likeness to Mother Teresa. On the morning of Oct. 15, 1996, the store manager at the Bongo Java coffee shop looked at a pastry and found the saintly nun staring him in the face

The legend of the "NunBun" was born. The confection was shellacked for all eternity as the media converged for a breakfast treat that was soon to be known as "The Immaculate Confection," "The Divine Dough" and "The Cin-a-Nun."

4. The Holy Eggplant
In March last year, a woman in Mendhasalis, India, sliced into an eggplant and found seeds spelling out "Allah" in Urdu script. Now, the vegetable is part of a shrine near her home, where some treat it as a religious icon.

Amazingly, this is not the first time an eggplant has been exalted. In 1990, Muslims in nothern England also reported finding "Allah" spelled out in the seeds of an eggplant, only this time it was written in Arabic.

we eat so many tortillas in new mexico that we could see virtually anything or anyone in them.

Who ate Jesus?

This sort of thing happens all the time. I once saw two (large) carrot cakes with cherries on top, that looked remarkably like the late Ann Nicole Smith, so there you go.

Uh, a cross symbol is a common form in biology and MUCH older than Jesus. LOL.

Look at these eucalypt pods, for example:

What's neat is they come in 3 & 5 formations (stars) as well. I want to know if there is/was a bird with a beak shaped like a Phillips screwdrivers. I bet you there is/was. You read it here first, kids.

I'd like to find a swastika in my potatoes.

I'd like to see pi out to about 10 digits in mine. THEN I'd be converted.

Okay, probably not even then.
