ghostgirl74:  Can you hear me shaking my head over here?  Even with the light rain, you've got to hear it!  I'm always amazed with these stories. Undecided  The best part of the story was the line:  "Among the awe-struck was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers who arrived Thursday for an exhibition at a nearby swap meet."  What?!?!   I won't give away the comment from the wrestler but I think it can be cross checked with the forum here called "isn't that interesting".  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ghostgirl74 for posting this and yes, this was the proper place.  Smile

Like Alicat, I too am always amazed with these stories.  I am certainly no theologian and haven't the slightest clue when it comes to the "grand design of the universe."  However…I find it odd how any religious sign of faith can be found in a griddle at a restaurant.  They say God works in mysterious ways.  If this is true, then the griddle proves that he also has a sense of humor.  Innocent

ghostgirl74 and Revenant:  Just one other question (sorry about this).  Wonder if they make "heavenly hash"? Innocent

Of course we have a long history of people seeing holy images in unusual places, but this has to be among the lamest — it's just a blob, for heaven's sake.

Here's a closeup:

this reminded me of my favorite holy food story: the "nun bun."

Once while standing in front a mirror I thought I saw the image of Celine Dion.
Upon closer review I realized it was just a broom propped against the door behind me.

Double tap to the head. Don't become Undead.
