Man sells Mary, Jesus Funyuns on eBay
http://www.wvgazette.com/section/News/Other%20News/2005120619

A West Virginia law clerk says he has been blessed by two Funyuns shaped like the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus he discovered under his car seat.

John Mize of Crawley put the onion-flavored snack food pieces up for sale on eBay in November and the winning anonymous bidder offered $609 for the morsels.

“The only reason I wanted to auction it in the first place was to let it bring a little joy and fun into someone else’s life,” Mize said. “Maybe this Funyun can make another person’s day a little brighter.”

:rofl:

3. I have GOT to find me some imaginary holy images on food products
to sell on E-Bay.

I don't care if it's a grilled cheese sandwich with Mary, or some basmati with Vishnu :P

4. i'm not a religious person
but i would hope that if jesus every chooses to make a return appearance to earth he will choose something a little more grand than funyuns or tailgate dirt or window smears.

7. yeah

8. mysterious i can see, but unnoticable?
Scene:
Jesus is sitting on a cloud, looking down in eager anticipation as Johnny Mize cracks open a bag of Funyuns somewhere in WV.

"YES!" Jesus exclaims as he pumps his fist Tiger Woods style. "Johnny will know my glory any second now."

Cut to 20 minutes later, the Funyon bag lies discarded in on the floor of Johnny's car, the strategically planted "Miracle Chips" lost under the driver's seat.

Cut to two months later. Jesus is in the office, doing paperwork, when the he gets an email update...THE "MIRACLE CHIPS" HAVE RESURFACED...

Jesus chuckles to himself. "i am so mysterious," he thinks contentedly as he raises his bid on ebay...........

9. I'm gonna buy a Pinto and put a Jesus dent in it
Then I'm gonna charge folks $5 to see/touch/be healed by it.

Jesus Dent In My Pinto would be the name of my rock band, I think.

18. someone beat you to it
http://www.nbc17.com/news/5380739/detail.html

An image on a truck tailgate has sparked a new wave of religious pilgrims in Texas.

Portraits of Jesus Christ and a table full of candles surround what some are calling a miraculous image.

Believers say the face of Jesus is visible in the dirt on the tailgate.

Since word of the vision got out, at least 150 people have made a pilgrimage to visit the truck.

14. Well, around the top of it it looked kinda like a halo
and I could have sworn there was a scratch on its skin that looked a little like the crucifixion. Probably just my imagination. I knew I should have bought the damn thing!!!

17. Here's a money making suggestion:
Get a griddle, etch a picture of Jesus or the VM in the metal, than start frying those sandwiches! You could turn out hundreds.
