Christ-Like Smudge Fetches Over $1,500
Just a quick post, as I am heading out to the garage to start up a new business.

"FOREST, Va. - A smudge of driveway sealant resembling Jesus Christ's face has fetched more than $1,500 for the Forest family that found the holy image on its garage floor. The Serio family put the slab of concrete up for auction on eBay more than a week ago. Wednesday, they got a taker at $1,525.69.

"I really never thought I'd get any, to be honest," said Deb Serio, a high school teacher.

Described as an "uncanny icon of Christ," the slab doesn't cry, change appearance or do anything else. It just looks a lot like the son of God.

"It's fun to see what people say and think about it," said Serio, who has gotten hundreds of messages from around the world..."

1. It looks like Cat Stevens.
I leave streaks in the toilet bowl that look more like Jesus.

5. Gee, I didn't know there were any definitive images of Jesus
I mean it was before cameras, before movies, there are no known sketches or statues or any image created by his contemporaries.....

6. Well, we know he's like from the west coast
blond hair, blue-eyed, tan, longish hair and a beard. You know, if he would cut his are and trim the beard he could move into your neighborhood.
