Bidding on Jesus Pierogi Now Over $1,000

[deadparrot]

POINT PLACE -- Bidding is now over $1,00 for a pierogi that some say has a vision of Jesus Christ on it. Since the auction was posted about four days ago, bidding has gone from zero to 1,000, and at least 14 different bidders are looking at it.

Donna Lee has kept the pie with the image of Jesus frozen in a plastic bag since that Easter in April. She first noticed it while cooking pierogi's. "The last one I flipped over was Jesus, so I flipped the spatula, and my husband goes, 'What? There's Jesus!' and he goes, 'Oh my God!'" said Donna. Her husband agreed, saying, "There's a face on our pierogi and we choose to believe on Easter it's Jesus."

The image of Christ was on one of 12 pierogi's that came from the store. For the uninitiated, a pierogi is a Polish delicacy made up of a pouch of dough filled with a savory filling like meat, cheese, or vegetables, and cooked by boiling and then pan-frying. It's very similar to a dumpling. "They're usually browned one side and browned on the other but this one was the only one that didn't brown on both sides," said Donna. "It's very special and they've made a joke of me since April, so I don't know, it just means a lot to me."

Both Donna and her husband were born and raised Catholic. They pray daily and also understand that some would consider this pretty bizarre.

1. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!

Are people so gullible to believe burn marks on a dumpling are a picture of christyboy? I looked at the other Jesus auctions on eBay right now and had a good laugh! Some people just don't have a brain within a mile of them (as my grandmother used to say)!
