"Miracle" sandwich fetches $28K [Reuters] Every once in a blue (cheese) moon, the opportunity to buy a sacrosanct sandwich comes along. And when that opportunity knocked on eBay, an online casino was there to take a bite. GoldenPalace.com paid $28,000 for a 10-year-old, partially eaten cheese sandwich that supposedly bears the image of the Virgin Mary (it could also pass as a toasted, whole wheat Gwen Stefani, but try getting 28 grand for that). The woman who crafted the vestal Velveeta says she's kept it in a plastic case since 1994, and that it hasn't gotten moldy. No mold on a 10-year-old sandwich? Now that's a miracle! GoldenPalace.com is already selling Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese T-shirts and plans to use the sandwich to raise money for charity. As long as they don't use it to feed the hungry!   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
