Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Back Up on EBay. That's what the news source says. Their link says invalid item though. Let's talk about miracles. Do you actually believe this is a miracle of God? I see elephants, dolphins, aliens, Abraham Lincoln, and other crazy stuff in clouds. Are these also miracles? Of course religion is based 100% on faith. But on a grilled cheese sandwich?

The Who rocks. I'll be first in line to get this one. "Who are you.....Who..who..who..who.. I really wanna know". Oh yeah!!!

Australia's iconic kangaroos and koalas could be shot with birth control darts under a program to control booming populations struggling to survive in the country's worst drought in a century.
