Someone could certainly buy a lot of bread with that kind of dough!

Hmm, on last night’s news it was reported that Ebay pulled this auction, when the bid was about 22K. I guess it’s back then?
Tom
It kinda looks like Gwen Stefani
Ha! Ha! Ha!
I wonder what Gwent Stefani’s reaction would be if she heard she was being compared to the Virgin Mary? 
Tom
Funny how pictures of the virgin Mary, a young Jewish woman, almost always look like a blonde, blue-eyed Marylin Monroe or something… 
It’s always made me wonder how the perpetrator…,er, I mean, discoverer recognized the image as that of Mary - gee, it really must be a miracle! 
Cheezus, Tony…you’re right. In fact, Gwen did an
album called ‘No Doubt’ back in '97 and the cover
looks suspiciously related to this eBay auction!
But I think the sandwich looks more like Julia Stiles.
Aw, it must be one of those reverse auctions, it is already down to 20,000,100.00. I sure wanted to pay a billion dollars for this.
Exactly. What makes her so certain it’s not some poor little Salem witch-girl, trying for another crack at notoriety?
Not only Jewish, but Middle Eastern Jewish! Don’t see many blonde Yiddische Maidels running around there…at least not back around the year 0… 
If you go to the bid history some of the bids were pulled by e-bay. Currently it’s at $69,107.96 with 5 days 5 hours left. For what it’s worth I had grilled cheese for dinner last night. I checked both sides of my sammy but alas, there was nada. Just plain old grilled toast. Maybe I’m not spiritual enough.
A little hard to tell if the hair is blond on a burnt spot on a piece of toast.
Honestly, though, most pictures I’ve seen of the Virgin, she is wearing a head covering.

Yeah, and it’s not typically made of toast.

I find the whole thing absolutely ridiculous. Why anyone would BID is beyond me. How much you want to bet that all those bids are fake?
No way. I really think someone has 100 mill to spend on toast. 
You never know em…there are some pretty strange people out there!
I think eBay does this as a publicity stunt. Look at all the news coverage they got as a consequence of pulling it off, then putting it back on. Seems they did the same thing last year with that guy from Seattle who was selling his ex-wife’s wedding dress. This morning there were about 400,000 views of the grilled cheese sandwich, now there’s been something like 800,000 views on the counter.
I see faces in things all the time. I’ve even seen some that good, but never thought of taking a picture and puting it on eBay. I will from now on. If anyone sees some good illusions in a slice of nutcake, please let me know.

The company e-mailed Diana Duyser to tell her that the sandwich listing was against its policy, which “does not allow listings that are intended as jokes.”
But Duyser insisted she was serious, and on Tuesday, eBay allowed the bidding to resume. The auction closes on Nov. 22.
There was a picture of a fruitcake that has a face in our newspaper today. She claims she has a sandwich with the image of the Virgin Mary on it!
Edited to add: HEY! That’s the fruitcake I saw with the face!!! thanks Nano.
Gee, while I’ve been spending way too much time away from here and on e-bay trying to find some vintage 1920s garb for the holidays I’ve totally missed the TOAST!!!
(but I did get a great flapper cloche hat)
WOO HOO! Now THAT is worth missing holy toast anytime!!!
