A bargain at any price...

...but all you really need to buy this precious--what is it? I don't think they call it a relict...well, anyway, it's an image of the Virgin Mary...on a stovetop, and you can get it for a mere $30K. Just click on the title of this post, and it'll take you right to her.

Apparently this couple went to clean their stove one morning, and there she was, in the indentation in the tray where the burner grate rests. Who expects to find the Holy Mother pooling in the grease on their stove? This couple was apparently quite taken aback, and immediately resolved to find a proper home for their stovetop by putting it on eBay at what is clearly a very reasonable price. Moreover, to demonstrate their spiritual motivations, they promise to put the profits (over and above the cost of a new stove, which is considerable) into "something meaningful", such as their upcoming wedding. How can you resist?

Go now. Listen to your heart. Our Lady of the Stovetop Grate Pan is calling. Put in your bid, and make it good. There'll be some scalpers at this auction.
