eBay bidding ends at $28,000 for 10-year-old (Virgin Mary) sandwich

[Moloch]

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Looks like Diana Duyser's going to get some really nice bread for her eBay item — $28,000 for a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich half that she believes bears the image of the Virgin Mary.

Bidding on the Internet auction house closed Monday night. The winning bidder wasn't disclosed on the Web site, but was identified by The Miami Herald as GoldenPalace.com, an online casino. The casino also posted a statement confirming the sale on its Web site.

Photos posted on eBay show what can be viewed as a woman's face emblazoned on the triangular half-sandwich, a bite taken out of one end.

8. Selling the Virgin Mary on E-Bay????

Sounds like a Dobson/Robertson/Falwell plan.

Ladies git your fryin pans, your American cheese and white bread. You can certainly come up with Jesus and The Last Supper. Maybe you can get one of the small business loans that Bush has been talkin about and put some of your friends and family to work.

9. If you eat it, you are assured eternal happiness, Right?????

Isn't that why it's so pricy?

I tell you what - I'm firing up the griddle right now.............

11. Hey!

About twenty years ago, I was sitting at my breafast table in the kitchen, looking out the window. I saw a brick on the neighbors house that had an image of Bruce Springsteen on it! Maybe I should have chiseled it out and sold it on E-bay!

12. Yo, I got a turd here that looks like boosh*! What am I bid?

Oh, I forgot. ALL turds look like boosh*. And vice-versa.

14. WHAT? WOW! FIRST I HAD HEARD OF THIS STORY

:spank:

[onecent]

15. And we wondere WHY Bush won. Jesus this world is going to

the dogs.

16. Although I happen to believe in the Virgin birth

I cannot fathom why someone would believe Mary would miraculously appear via a grilled cheese sandwich. What's the rationale here?
She wants to promote the Dairy Council?

Idiotic, what some do in the name of religion.

[Zuni]

18. I tend to believe an appearance from Mary would be more Fatima

and less Weekly World News/trailer park.

[Carson]

20. Honestly, I don't believe Mary appears to anyone, anywhere.

IMHO

[Zuni]

19. If I was gonna pay 28K for a grilled cheese, I'd want it fresh
