Holy Eggplant, Batman!

20070815godplant.jpg

Here's a slice of life in the Philadelphia suburbs: A Boothwyn couple found an eggplant whose seeds spell "God." It's the most useless food-related media meme to come out of Philly since Geno's Steaks bought their anti-immigrant crusade to the streets of South Philly... and the most addictive.

You see, you too can bid on the divine eggplant on eBay for the starting bid of $1,000:

"My name is Felicia. You may have seen my story on the news. I cut open an eggplant this past weekend and the seeds in one slice spelled out the word "God". The item has been preserved in a food saver plastic bag and is frozen in a safe place.

This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, and I am surprised at the attention it has gotten. I would like to offer this item to someone who truly has an interest in this unique object. I am very serious about this, so please - serious bidders only.

Thanks for looking.

Felicia"

Indeed. This isn't the first time an eggplant has experienced divine intervention— in 2000, a resident of London found "Allah" spelled in Arabic in the seeds of her eggplant.
