It's a miracle!

Actually, no, it isn't. Seems we have yet another apparition of a holy figure, this time the Virgin Mary in a griddle. Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick!

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh when these things come up. An image of Jesus in an oil slick. Virgin mary on a pancake. A pretzel that looks like....a pretzel.

This is the griddle that people have been flocking to see.

CALEXICO, Calif. — The hottest thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days isn't the food. It's the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that a cook says she saw in the griddle.

Restaurant manager Brenda Martinez says more than a hundred people have flocked to the small town of Calexico on the California-Mexico border to gaze at the image since it was discovered as the griddle was being cleaned.

Among the awe-struck was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers who arrived Thursday for an exhibition at a nearby swap meet.

"This is amazing. It's a true miracle," said one, known as Mr. Tempest.

Since the discovery, the griddle has been taken out of service and placed in a shrine in a storage room.
