Woman 'blessed by the holy toast'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4019295.stm
A Florida woman put the sandwich up for sale, saying it has brought her great luck since she found it 10 years ago.
<snip>
The snack has attracted a bid - thought to be a hoax - of $99.9m.
Diana Duyser, 52, of Hollywood, Florida, set a starting price of $3,000, and pleaded with people not to post hoax bids.
<snip>
"I made this sandwich 10 years ago. When I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me - it was Virgin Mary starring (sic) back at me. I was in total shock," she explained.

That's a good one. Very amusing.
Questions remain, though:
- As a sandwich, what was on it? Maybe it wasn't the toast after all... (The
more scientific question, which I am not trying to promote here, what
hallucinogenic substance were these ingredients contaminated with?)
- As a sandwich, how does it look like after TEN YEARS? How did the woman
preserve - especially in the decomposition-friendly climate of Florida?
- As a sandwich, which has now become some sort of holy relic, is it
appropriate to keep it in a church's sanctum like most other relics, or will
it suffice to bless the fridge?
Arrrh.

p.s.: Hoax or not, who would bid for a sandwich anyway?

Othello. Thou dost conspire against thy friend, Iago,
If thou but think'st him wrong'd, and mak'st his ear
A stranger to thy thoughts.
