It's a miracle! Toast with face of Jackson
As reported by the BBC, people claim that slices of toast with images of Michael Jackson have popped out of their toasters around the time of Michael Jackson's verdict.
They're now selling on ebay. One current sale has 11 bids with the top bid going for $10.50. It still has 5 days left. How high will it go?
Believe it or not, toast with the Virgin Mary image sold for $28K last year.
What are the chances that any of these are legitimate? My guess is that a lot of them have been crafted with the image. Perhaps they were burnt and then the images were made by scraping the burnt top layer off. Or perhaps images were made by selectively coating the bread with butter and then toasted. The coated bread will cook differently and thereby leave an image.
Here are some good lines I got from Free Republic:
- Michael's career is toast.
- It's the brownest he's been in a long, long time...
- Did you hear the one about Michael Jackson's toaster? The bread goes in brown and comes out white...
