Net Casino Buys Virgin Mary Pretzel

An internet casino in the USA (where else?) has bought a pretzel said to be shaped like the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus.
Auctioned on eBay, it drew 56 bids and the casino won with a bid of $10,600.
This is the same casino that previously bought a partially eaten grilled cheese sandwich said to resemble the Virgin Mary.
The casino put the sandwich on a world tour and it is expected it will do the same thing with the pretzel.

I love stuff like this. A couple of years ago in the UK there was a holy aubergine (egg plant) found and a tomato if I recall correctly with words written on them from the Koran.

So, all I have to do is sit in my kitchen and shape snaks into religious symbols and I will be financially set for life.
