Good Lord, It's a Holy Eggplant

The story of the Divine Eggplant got big play in the Philadelphia area while I was traveling back there earlier this month.

Boothwyn, Delaware resident Felicia Teske was preparing fried eggplant for dinner on August 12, 2007. Upon slicing the eggplant she noticed that the seeds contained within one slice appeared to spell out the word “GOD”. Her husband Paul looked at the sliced eggplant and couldn’t believe it either. Felicia told a reporter she recently had family members pass away and it is comforting that “GOD” appeared.

Here you go:



I hate to be mean, Mrs. Teske, so I'll let those crazies over at Daily Kos handle the snark for me:

JEERS to vegetables of mass distraction. A Pennsylvania woman slicing an eggplant noticed that the seeds in the middle formed the word "GOD". (Naturally, she followed the Biblical procedure for these things and gave it up as an offering to The Holy Cathedral of eBay.) Not mentioned in the media coverage is that the seeds in subsequent slices formed the words "ARE" "YOU" "PEOPLE" "GULLIBLE." Which leads me to my point: atheists are very silly.
