Eatery stops using grill after chef sees Virgin Mary's image on it

The day after the chef spotted Mary, the Rev. Gerardo Fernandez of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church confirmed the image was a true likeness of the Virgin, says restaurant general manager Brenda Martinez. Since then, the griddle with the image has been retired from service in the kitchen and put on display in a storage room. (ImperialValley Press)

Somebody is pulling my leg. That picture of the Pro Wrestlers, in full costume no less, gazing at the grill virgin? Only in some f'd up parallel universe is that not a joke.

Otherwise this place has gone completely nutsalad.

There is absolutely nothing insane about this story. Nothing at all.

[lynn]

i did not see a thing except some ugly men dressed funny

[LimeGreenLizard]

SEMSC, it's been nut salad for so long, that this is the only kind of news I really care to read. But how is she going to protect the sacred image from rust? Methinks it isn't stainless steel.

What they really need is a good scraper and scouring pad, some hot soapy water and some elbow grease.

Will this stupid sh@t ever end? Getting a chip that is shapped like a state, that is cool. That is real but this seeing a so called virgin crap is getting out of hand. I'm going to start checking my poop for strange shapes and figures and see how many people would be dumb enough to flock to a toliet to stare at a turd that looked jesus or the virgin mary.

[NitroPress]

What you're all missing is that the image of the Virgin Mary is staring at these guys, thinking WTF!?

[twerp]

SHE'S A WITCH!! BURN HER!!!

[Zimbabalouie]

Ooooooooo like a Virgin senn on a grill for the first time........like a Viririrgin I melt my image into a grilled cheese .......

[Rusty]

Oh please - more religious BS - those people see stuff on TOAST, on TREES, on Doors! Gotta be some kind of mental illenss!

[David]

Nitro, my first thought was "Wow, she comes down for a burger and look what happens."

[adam]

Pareidolia is evidence that god exists. Well, either that or that lots of people never gradiated a basic psych class.

[Dellos]

I am looking for images of Abe Lincoln

[sometimesilie]

LOL semsc! My thoughts exactly...

[Russ]

Dios mio, es un milagro.

[Dave]

Oh, well it's a good thing they stopped using the grill. Poor thing. It must've been uncomfortable on that hot surface. I'm not sure she intended to appear on that particular object. This apparation business can be dodgy and unpredictable. She may have been aiming for a grilled cheese sandwich, and her aim was just c-hair off.

[USMerc]

I used to go out with a girl named Mary.....Is that her???

[twerp]

Merc, my niece is a virgin named Mary. I THINK IT'S HER!!!

[USMerc]

Must be yours twerp...My Mary definately was NOT a virgin!!!

[Johnanon]

I thought the Vatican had put the kybosh on this sort of thing. Any object that can be sold on eBay has been deemed unacceptable for a true BVM sighting.

Any bets when that grill goes up for bid?

Another far-from distinct "image," as usual -- I would think Mary or Jesus could do a much better job of portraying themselves clearly. Maybe I'll take heat for this, but to me, it looks as much like a dildo as like Mary (or like a person at all).

And if I were Mary or Jesus and wanted to convey something to the world, I would do it in a way that would carry some kind of MESSAGE, for-cryin'-out-loud.

How convenient that the priest who "confirmed" it "could not be reached for comment."

(Or perhaps on the grill),
I get practically ill;
My reaction is simply, "Oh, please!!"

[troschne]

Excellent, as always, KC.

I'm going to take heat right with you, because it looks like a big blob of spooge to me.

[USMerc]

There was a distinct image of Mithras on my burger at lunch time today...I'd show ya'll...but I ate it....

[Phranqlin]

I'm going to hell along with KC and troschne -- it looked like a penis to me.

[tinman]

A bird left an image exactly like that on my truck windshield. Could that be a sign from above?

[Tex Luie]

That holy priest has a picture of the Virgin Mary in her High School Prom dress. Now, how can you doubt?

[Charles Brobst]

I'm so happy to be a Protestant and not see things that aren't there.

[PaulM]

Believers will see what they want to see, I guess...

I don't suppose this is the grill upon which was cooked the piece of toast that supposedly featured the image of Jesus a few years back, is it? Now _that_ would sound more like a miracle...

[lynn]

omg!!! y'all!!! it does look like a penis!!! oh crap-a-munda!!! and they have a vergin mary candle looking at it!!!! the shame --sister josephetta maria san juan is NOT going to be happy!!

[JayB]

To me it actually looked more like a used condom...
