WIStv.com Columbia, SC: Giant corn flake sells for $156 on eBay

"(National-NBC) Feb. 1, 2005 - It didn't fetch as much as the 'Virgin Mary grilled cheese' or a supposedly-haunted walking cane, but, the 'giant corn flake' has finally sold on eBay.

The two-by-three-inch piece of cereal brought in $156 on the auction web site Sunday.

Online gambling site GoldenPalace.com made the big purchase, a steal compared to its last two purchases.

The casino spent $28,000 for the cheese sandwich and $65,000 for the cane.

Corn flake owner John White says he'll give half of the $156 to a tsunami relief charity."

A Texan family say they have found the image of Jesus in their frying pan.

Juan Pastrano, wife Mary-Lou and son Juan Jnr made the discovery when they went to wash up after a fry-up at their home in Prairie Lea.

Now they are keeping the pan in a sealed plastic bag while they decided what to do with it.

Two months ago a woman who discovered an image of the Virgin Mary in her toasted cheese sandwich sold it for £14,000 to casino company GoldenPalace.com. .

Jewellery maker Diana Duyser, 52, was shocked when the bidding went through the roof after she offered it for sale on eBay.

Now Mrs Duyser has suggested the Texas family follow her example and offer it for sale on eBay.

"I think they will be amazed how much it could sell for," she said.
