IOWA CITY, IA - A chicken nugget has been discovered in the shape of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

A peculiar item has been spotted on eBay, a chicken nugget in the shape of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart for many Catholics represents Jesus’ love for humanity. It is often used to symbolize the love and admiration that one has for Christ.

The heart shaped piece of processed chicken was discovered by the daughter of a nurse in a Chick-Fil-A nugget pack. The mother, who ironically works in the Cardiac division of an Iowa City hospital has put the item up for auction on eBay in order to help pay off her student loan debt. There is no documentation with the nugget to prove its origin, not even a receipt of purchase, but the seller insures all interested parties that it is in fact made of chicken and purchased from Chick-Fil-A. However, it is hard to believe that the seller can actually know that it is made from chicken.

Since the posting on eBay a small group of devote Catholics, in Frostproof, FL, have become enraptured by the religious anomaly and have come to view it as an article of worship. The nugget now referred to as the “Nugget of Jesus” by its devout followers and has become an object of desire for the group.

Even though the Vatican has yet to approve the apparition, the cult following is now looking to raise the $10,000 list price for the “Nugget of Jesus” in order to insert the religious wonder into the golden shrine that they plan to erect for it. Until then they will have to continue to worship the nugget on a MacBook Air that continually monitors the auction.

The “Nugget of Jesus” was discovered by Break.com on October 26 of this year. However, the nugget was not brought to the attention of the Weekly World News until Christmas day via Facebook by user Taryn Knight. And what a wonderful present it was, thanks Taryn. At the time of this report the listing has had 3,488 and over 24 days are left in the auction so don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this important piece of religious iconography.

Oh good grief.

This is just STUPID! Is God really going to perform a miracle by shaping a glob of chicken into the Sacred Heart? IMHO

[mnehring]

....Since the posting on eBay...

All makes sense now.. I think I'll start checking out my nuggets to see who I can sucker to buy it.

maybe... isn't the Chik-Fil-A founder an evangelical Christian? i mean, He could have performed this miracle using a McNugget... ;-)

If the local bishop doesn’t immediately come out against this when he finds out, the pope should fire him on the spot.

[mnehring]

The local bishop should ask for some honey mustard and eliminate the blasphemy on the spot.

35,000 hits on the auction site ... and, surprisingly, still no bids on the $10,000.00 used chicken nugget. That’d certainly be a healthy profit margin on a nugget that was likely bought, along with 11 others, for $4.

God works in mysterious ways and with a spatula

[boycott]

Apparently just some idiot being obnoxious.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Keep in mind, the MSM plays these things up to make Christians look like ignorant yahoos. As in: Ha, ha, ha—those idiot Christians have found another sign from God in a chicken nugget.

[6SJ7]

Imagine the outrage of Rage Boy if anyone posted a story about finding an image of Mohammed in, say, a Mc Rib or a sausage biscuit.

[BigCinBigD]

If God wanted us to eat healthy. He wouldn't have deep fried Jesus.

Gotta love the Q&A on the e-bay auction site:

Q:	What would you do with the Money if I buy this from you ???	Dec-10-10
A:	I would put it toward my student loans. I went into debt when I went to nursing school. I live in Iowa and Nurses aren't paid very well here. We could move to a better paying state, but my daughter loves her school and Iowa has a nursing shortage. I love my job, I'm just struggling. $10,000 would put a little dent in it anyway :)
Q:	Is this a real chicken nugget, or just a fried chicken heart? Do you provide the proper documentation from KFC to authenticate this relic of a nugget?	Dec-10-10
A:	This was actually bought at Chik-fil-A. I don't have any documentation. You'll have to trust me. If you buy it, when you get it, you can pick away a little bit of the breading and see for yourself that this my dear is the real deal.
Q:	I think this item is a great deal for the price, and the story behind it touched my heart! I'm currently putting together a collection basket at my church to raise money to buy this glorious nugget. We then plan on donating the chicken nugget to Haiti. Could you package the nugget in a plastic tube, I don't trust it in card board because I fear that a religious little mouse might chew through it and eat the nugget.	Dec-06-10
A:	I absolutely could do that. Funny how you mentioned a religious little mouse. I would have thought you were kidding before I found this nugget and learned that chickens can be catholic.
Q:	Hi, I'm sorry but I was unclear as to whether you felt something when you held the Sacred Heart nugget. I'm been looking for my own guidance and was curious if there was any energy felt when you held it. My wife once found a potato chip that once she bit into it, the remainder resemble a Yeti. Although not a religious symbol, she still felt strong enough to walk into work and tell off someone in her office. Unfortunately she was fired shortly after, but she walked out with her head held high. Anyway, I just wanted to ask.	Nov-28-10
A:	Well to be honest I didn't feel energy from the nugget radiating to my hand, but what I did feel was EXTREME excitement and that made me happy. And since that moment me and my family have smiled and laughed a lot about this little inspiration. So I guess to answer your question, Yes. This sacred Heart Chicken Nugget has induced happy feelings into many. I love the story about your wife! I'm glad that she found inner power to stick up for herself when the Yeti made a visit. I feel she will go on to do great things. That job was just holding her down.
Q:	I was questioning the existence of God until I saw this nugget! WOW, talk about mysteries ways!! I would love to buy it but could you tell me if this is a Regular or Spicy nugget? TIA	Nov-19-10
A:	This was most definitely original seasoning.
Q:	Is it still edible?	Nov-19-10
A:	I believe so.... If you desire, I don't think you would get ill :) I could send a little holy water from the vatican blessed by the pope to use in a dipping sauce? I have some and could part with a little, no extra cost.

[mnehring]

Holy Water dipping sauce.. how brilliant!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Make sure you have rubber soles on and aren't touching metal. Celestial Zots can be painful if they actually pass through the body...

[Mrs. Don-o]

The culprit here is Chik Filioque.

[Onelifetogive]

I think I'll start checking out my nuggets...

TSA can do that for you...

[BlueDragon]

If the local bishop doesn’t immediately come out against this when he finds out, the pope should fire him on the spot.

Yeah...but what if he was moved to accept it be the body and blood _under the "form of the" chicken --- ate it (like taking communion) then said "tastes like chicken"?

ThaT would probably get him excommunicated. But the precise wording used to do the deed would make for interesting reading, I sure...

[Mrs. Don-o]

If you can find anybody at FR --- anybody of any age, race, sex, faith or ethnicity --- who doesn't think this is stupid, please give me their freepername so I can whup them upside the head.

Hear?
