'Sheet-Metal Jesus' Up for Sale on eBay
Monday, February 27, 2006

MANCHESTER, Conn. — Thomas Haley was unloading supplies for his job at Hardy's Hardware when he said something odd caught his eye: the face of Jesus Christ on a piece of sheet metal.

Now, Haley and a co-worker are hawking the holy hardware on eBay, hoping potential bidders will agree that the blurry oil stain on the sheet metal does, indeed, resemble Jesus.

"I mean, it hasn't done anything miraculous as of yet, but seeing it is kind of groovy," said Haley, 23. "Just seeing it brightens people's day."

Haley said he was unloading a supply truck two weeks ago at the Manchester hardware store when he turned a corner and was awe-struck by the holy likeness gazing back at him from the $15.49 piece of sheet metal.

Since then, Haley and 18-year-old co-worker Jonathan Jackson have shown the piece to a few other workers and customers, and even took it on a short pilgrimage to a nearby hair salon.

They say several people agreed with their assessment, although a few suggested it looks more like legendary rock singer Jim Morrison of The Doors.

A sign from Christ, a picture of Jim Morrison, or a bunch of holy shit?

I'm with the "Ché Guevara" votes.

Hey, that's it. You should have made this a survey.

Definitely closer to Che Guevara than anything else.

Whoever found (manipulated) that sheet of metal is going to be rich.

"And lo, the Lord saw this worshipping of false idols, and decreed that these sinners be punished: 'Let them payeth a sh*tload of money for worthless junk.'"

Nah, I don't bother with sheet steel. Despite my name. It's platinum or nothing - I have standards y'know.
