Religious sightings, from the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich to Jesus on a sonogram. Mother Mary come to me. Let it be. Let it be.

Holy Sheet!

The Daily Mail reports that an image of the Virgin Mary has appeared on an Australian bedsheet. The sheet was spotted in a Salvation Army store outside Melbourne, Australia. Named The Shroud of St Kilda, it's naturally for sale on eBay. Starting price is $10,000.00 Australian, which is about US$7,783.00. Not bad for a sheet with a stain that looks like Che Guevera...or is it Daniel Boone?

Salt Of The Earth...I Mean, Heavens

A shrine has popped up by an expressway underpass in Chicago where people say salt stains on the concrete look like the Virgin Mary. Believers are flocking to the site even though the new Pope has made no public comment about it nor booked a flight yet.

POSTSCRIPT: On May 6th a man was arrested for scrawling the words "big lie" over the stain. Authorities then painted over the whole thing. R.I.P.

LATER THE SAME DAY: The Chicago Tribune reports that, like Jason, the image is back. "One or more people somehow began to remove the paint. It was not known how they did it, but by afternoon, the image was back largely intact and apparently with no sign of the graffiti that had marred it."

No Wonder Her Granddaughter Looks Like An Angel

An Ohio woman says if you turn an ultrasound picture of her granddaughter upside down you can see the face of Jesus. She's had the picture hanging on the wall for four years but never noticed the image until she recently turned it over. Is she seeing Jesus or dollar signs on eBay?
