Update on Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary

Hey, it looks like Ebay allowed the bidding to resume!

However, it doesn't look like CNN has been updating their story very often... they say the new listing has a high bid of $16k, but I just checked and it is up over $69k... (Update: back down to "only" $16)

That's absurd... not that the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich isn't worth $69k, but the sandwich is 10 years old: I'll bet she tastes horribly stale by now!

I also don't think it is very authentic... is it just me, or wouldn't the Virgin Mary probably refrain from giving us the finger?

But seriously, how do we know this is the Virgin Mary? This could just as easily be Emily Dickinson trying to communicate to us from the great beyond. Maybe she was trying to channel her spirit into the woman who took the bite out of the sandwich and just missed! Now, Emily Dickinson will be a grilled cheese sandwich...forever. It's actually quite sad. If someone would just eat her then she could be freed from her prison of perfectly grilled white bread and melted american cheese. Oh, the horror!

you know, this is the kind of crap that drives me insane. There was a building in Tampa that had a water streak on the side of it that was the virgin mary and all these freaks protested when they cleaned the building.

If Mary is able to permeate concrete, bread, and all these other things, why the fuck doesn't she just go corporeal and bring it on?
