Owner Diana Duyser, 52, of Hollywood, Florida, said eBay earlier pulled the half-sandwich from its listings, telling her it does not allow items intended as a joke.

I think it looks more like Jean Harlow.

The link requires registration, but regardless of that - it's not the virgin mary. It actually looks more like one of my aunts.

I wonder why my aunt is appearing in grilled cheeses in Florida. Doesn't she have anything better to do?

here is another link to this silly sandwhich story
http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/11/16/ebay.sandwich.ap/index.html

The last sentence reads "The sandwich, she added, has never sprouted a spore of mold."

That in itself is a miracle

Irrelivent!

Topic, please.

And we would know what the Virgin Mary really looked like... HOW exactly?

Duh. We don't even know what Jesus really looked like. Probably not like Jim Caviezel.

What was it that PT Barnum said:
"There's a sucker born every minute?"

Seriously, what sort of mental defective would offer pay more than $16K for an old grilled cheese sandwich? Unless the bidders are just screwing around & don't intend to pay...

the christian right have a secret underground lab. they know the secret, that if you combine enough fake relics together you can resurrect jesus.

muhahahaha

The topic is stupidity as in the stupidity of most Americans who fall for this crap. I don't care what face appears on the sandwich, but eBay should pull the auction and forbid it from ever being posted again. The only things that eBay should allow to go that high in bidding are items with legitimate value.

The very same people who would throw around thousands of dollars for a symbol, not of the Virgin Mary, but of false piety are also probably the last ones to contribute to their local food bank.

it looks more like agent scully to me.

It's a half-baked idea.
Doesn't it look a little like Bernadette Peters?
Or Lucille Ball (with her hair down)?

83% of the people in my head say it's Fay Wray.

It looks like Cary Sherman

Who was that actress on Hollywood Boulevard..Gloria something or other...I think that's what the image looks like.

I had a pizza that looked like a guy with dermatological condition in a textbook once...and don't get me started on the face in the crazy bread !
LOL

I guess if people are stupid enough to wanna buy this kinda shit, I say let them - fools and their money are easily parted.
I don't think it should be up to ebay who can and cant sell what (providing it is legal) on their site. If some buck eejit wants to sell toast, more power to them.
This is the world we live in though - what a perfect symbol of it. Pure nonsense masqueraded as a relic, attracting those seeking some contact with their spiritual "leader", yet in the end only bringing them in contact with the raw capitalism of the modern world.

Ugh you would think something divine would taste better, I think I'm going to be sick.

I say Jean Harlow

Is there any particular reason that they think it's the Virgin Mary other than the fact that it looks like a face on a grilled cheese sandwich and that only the divine holy mother herself could be responsible?

i know a girl who calls grilled cheese sandwiches "cheese toasties."

It's Big Mama herself on a cheese toasty!

look mom! craft singles arent just good for calcium and 9 essential vitamins and minerals, it now cures leporacy, blindness, and helps you walk on water!!!

I've got a boiled egg that looks exactly like the pope.

Who'll start the bidding?

Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich Xmas Ornaments

Lunchboxes

Trading Cards... "RARE!" HAHAHAHAHA

Even a meteorite!

I do love people with sick twisted senses of humor!

Forgot to mention...

I love the lady's comment about the actually sandwich on her EBay listing...

"I would like all bidders to know that this item is not intended for consumption, it is intended for collectable purposes only.."


Ah c'mon, nothing is tastier than a 10 year old grilled cheese sandwich!!
