In Videos: Cheesus: Jesus in Cheetos Form
The lord moves in mysterious ways, but how often is artificial cheddar powder involved? Virgin Mary toast was just the beginning of religious visions you can eat. Kelly Ramey of High Ridge, Missouri, was just crunching along when she spotted "Cheesus," the crucifixion-reminiscent single Cheeto she's now storing in a special box. "I looked at that and thought, oh, my, that looks like Jesus...it was just like wow!"
She's not selling it on eBay because "of the joy that it's bringing." The best is when pastor David Bennett of Kirkwood United Methodist Church asserts, completely straight-faced and unfazed by the episode, "people can find Jesus in each of us like she's found in this object." Whether singing gospel hymns, or munching on puffed corn snacks, you too can find divinity. Watch the video—a CBS raw clip without voice-overs, which makes this whole thing even creepier—after the jump.

Incidentally, I used to go to a church where the worship leader was...well, let's just say English wasn't his first language, so as not to get me in trouble for singling out any specific nationality. Anyway, he sang "Cheebus" instead of Jesus. I really got a (immature) kick out of it, especially if any of you are familiar with a more evangelical style of worship: "Cheeeebus...oooohhhh, my Cheeeesbusssss"

Excellent. This is even better than the recent TV news report of a man who saw the Shroud of Turin on the hindquarters of his Abyssinian kitty.

I found a Goldfish cracker that looks like an Angel. Somehow it retained extra cracker material all around the edges, as if the form used to shape the fish was not properly removed.
It's sitting inside a padded plastic bag in my refrigerator for protection. Still trying to figure out what to do with it.
I wonder what Angel-fish crackers go for on eBay these days? :)
