Jesus appears on a fish stick

Fred Whan kept what seems to be an image of Christ in his freezer for the past year.
Yesterday, he decided it was time to thaw it out so he could sell it on eBay.
Whan had considered auctioning off a burned, battered fish stick since he heard that a Florida woman sold a decade-old grilled cheese sandwich with the toasty visage of what’s purported to be the Virgin Mary.
The sandwich drew bids in the tens of thousands of dollars on the Internet and sold for $28,000 US two days ago, according to the auction website.
Though it wasn’t exactly a sign from God that told the Kingston man to go public with his story, he felt compelled to call radio station K-Rock after he heard morning show hosts Shadoe and Taz talking about the pricey sandwich.
The next thing Whan knew, he was driving to the radio station and was soon on the air telling his story.
He recounted how he made the discovery about a year ago while cooking dinner for his kids and several other children he was babysitting in his Compton Street neighbourhood.
“I burned a few fish sticks and I said ‘Who wants a fish stick?’ and no one wanted them because they were burnt so I thought I’d better give them to the dogs,†he told The Whig-Standard.
When he flipped over one of the pieces of fish to remove it from the pan, it seemed like the face of a man was staring up at him.
“I said that looks like a rock singer and then my son goes, ‘It looks like Jesus,’ and I said ‘Well, it does yeah,’ †he said.
Whan, 40, said that the children were all pretty quiet after he showed the fish stick to them.
They all knew who it was, he said.
If thats not enough.. heres the rest of the article :p
