Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese

At first when I heard this story, I didn't beleive it. A woman is selling a a grilled cheese sandwich on eBay that she claims has the image of the Virgin Mary. (.pdf file in case eBay pulls item). Some of the truly amazing tidbits are the details. The woman claims that the sandwich is 10 years old.

Of course a whole cottage industry has popped up on eBay ranging from watercolor recreations to do-it-yourself kits. I'll certainly let you pass judgment yourself, but it is certainly interesting in any event.

Rich Beavers

I heard of this crazy story first on the radio, but this photo is almost beyond belief. Apparently a group of beavers embedded thousands of dollars in their dam.

Rock Climbing

I went rock climbing with a group of friends. I hadn't been in years, but it was still great! Now, if only my muscles didn't feel like they'll never stop shaking. Check to see if there is a gym near you.

Drop me a line if you would like to see some of the pictures.

Star Wars - Final Call

The last installment of the Star Wars comparison articles is out now. Chris Gould has done an amazing job with the series of articles. The screenshots are amazing. I guess the only thing left to wonder is how much more Star Wars will change before it is released again.

Black Eyed Peas - Again

I have talked about this before, but I couldn't help bringing it up again. It was one thing when the Black Eyed Peas changed the lyrics of their music for a short bit on an NBA playoff promo, but now the new lyrics are all over the radio. Any thoughts from anyone else?

Star Wars - Take Two

The same site that posted the Star Wars: Episode IV comparison now also has an Empire Strikes Back edition. Hopefully, the site won't be too bogged down. The comparison photos alone are worth a look.
