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?

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?

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.
