The Internet auction house eBay Inc. reversed itself Tuesday and is allowing bids for half of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that its owner says bears the image of the Virgin Mary. Diana Duyser, of Hollywood, put the sandwich up for sale last week, drawing bids as high as $22,000 before eBay pulled the item Sunday night. The page was viewed almost 100,000 times before being taken down. An e-mail Duyser received from eBay said the sandwich broke its policy, which "does not allow listings that are intended as jokes.''But Duyser, a work-from-home jewelry designer who has bought and sold items on eBay for two years, said the grilled cheese isn't a joke.EBay spokesman Hani Durzy said that the listing was mistakenly pulled the first time because it was deemed questionable whether Duyser could deliver the product."After looking at it a second time, there's nothing to indicate that the seller isn't willing to give up this cheese sandwich to the highest bidder,'' he said.

"We're going to allow it to stay up.''The auction was back on Tuesday afternoon with a top bid of $11,000. The winning bidder also has to pay $9.95 for shipping. In mocking response, two similar items were later posted _ grilled cheese sandwiches said to be bearing the images of the Virgin Mary's used gum and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Dear God some people have more money than common sense...

...in saying that I'd be happy to trade in some of my common sense for some money

Amen brother!

*Looks through all his cupboards and house for any old food - anything with a religious over tone! Finds a peanut butter sandwich under settee, with what looks like Mosses holding the staff out to split the Red Sea… Hmm, could be worth thousands. Crème-de-la-crème is the vegetable tray in the bottom of my fridge, it has congealed vegetable matter resembling John the Baptist dunking Jesus under in his baptism… *

This really shows how stupid people are.

This will be the most expensive sandwich ever.

Lol.....

People are weird sometimes but this tops the Star Trek Apartment! And that was cool!

I'm religious and I think this is just plain non-sesne. Stuff like this makes religion look bad

I'm Catholic and think I'm pretty spiritual. I find this whole thing hilarious!

I think God has one great sense of humor (and so does the Virgin Mary). After all, God gave us humor to make life bearable, and I think it's one of His best gifts. I bet they are both laughing their blessed pants off. Anyway, I think God is too big to let something like this tick Him off.

And again the stupidity of teh human race is shown in all its glory, why on earth would someone actually pay $11,000 for some toast, its seriously wrong and just a little sacry.
LOL! Its still very funny though!

oh for....

I love that quote... so true.
