The toast is not intended for consumption

A decade-old toasted cheese sandwich said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary has sold on the eBay auction website for $28,000.

An internet casino confirmed it had purchased the sandwich, saying it had become a "part of pop culture".

Goldenpalace.com says it will take the sandwich on world tour before selling it and donating the money to charity.

Diane Duyser, from Florida, says the sandwich has never gone mouldy since she made it 10 years ago.

4. or Carole Lombard

(who would have had a good laugh about that one!)

Why is this stuff so weird. I have a window that has lost it's seal and is cloudy, maybe I should have a press conference to announce the presence of the Virgin.


(I was raised Catholic, I love Song of Bernadette, but seriously!) :)
