'Christ-like' shell to go on sale
A bar manager in Switzerland has announced plans to sell an oyster
shell resembling the face of Jesus Christ, according to local media.
Matteo Brandi, 38, may hope to repeat the success of a Florida woman
who sold a piece of toast said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary for
$28,000.
The Italian said he had found the shell, whose contents have since
been eaten, in a batch two years ago.
The oyster stuck to his hand as if God was calling him, he said.
Mr Brandi, who describes himself as a devout Catholic, told
Switzerland's Le Matin newspaper he had kept the shell on top of the
bar's stereo after he found it.
This piece is unique - it is the work of nature, it is neither
grilled nor cooked.
Matteo Brandi, owner of oyster shell
He has now given it to a bank for safe keeping.
He became aware of its potential value only after hearing of the
Florida sale.
"This piece is unique," he told the newspaper. "It is the work of
nature. It is neither grilled nor cooked. I shall try my luck over the
internet."
Diane Duyser caused a stir last November when she put her unusual
piece of cheese-on-toast on the eBay auction website.
The toast, which Ms Duyser said had brought her great luck over 10
years, was sold to an internet casino within days.
The item received more than 1.7 million hits.

On 14 Jan 2005, Therion Ware dropped trou, farted, whirled, then shouted:
'Christ-like' shell to go on sale
Why is it these morons think anything that resembles a male face is christ
and anything resembling a female face is the virgin mary ? We have no
photographic evidence of Jesus or mommy, just paintings by "inspired"
artists, so who knows what they look like?

NOBODY knows what Jesus Christ looked like, if he existed at all. Yet
somebody is always finding something that looks like him.

Wha? That's some twisted logic. How do you get from an oyster stuck to
your hand to a god talking to you? I guess when I missed that easy shot
when I was playing pool earlier was a message from Santa Claus to go wash my
car.

I find this account difficult to believe, since it is a well documented fact
that God hates shellfish.
(Deuteronomy 14:10)
I think these people are dredging up this story just for the shell of it. The
whole idea of profiting on religious relics off of oysters just steams me.
They're just trying to mussel in on the relic trading on eBay. Maybe they are
just doing it for the halibut.
