Jesus Toaster

This is an old joke I used to make, but someone has made it real: It's the Jesus Toaster! No, really; look:


So now you can make your own holy toast.

But I'm a little disappointed that the Turin Cathedral isn't marketing a life-sized Shroud of Turin toaster. Then when the church had those giant sandwiches made for their meetings, they could have it made on giant toasted Shroud of Turin-sized bread! (And just to be more consistent with the whole shroud thing, maybe the sandwich could be a "wrap".) And it would be like communion too, since researchers recently said the image of the shroud "could not have been faked", and if that's true, then it's the image of Jesus. And He said to eat bread as His body in remembrance of Him, and what better way to feel like the bread you're eating is actually His body than to have it toasted to look like the Shroud of Turin? At least it would be a fun novelty thing they could use to draw the tourists on slow days. (Or do they already do that?)

Here's the news story about the Shroud of Turin:
