- Title: “Sacred Heart Potato”
- Media: Potato. Religious Devotion. Highest bidder.
- Submitted by: Rhonda A.
- Rhonda A. discovered a potato that she says resembles the "Sacred Heart of Jesus" (a famous religious devotion of the Catholic faith). She's not sure if it should be classified as a "sign," "miracle" or "other," but we all agreed that it has a home here in the MoFA's 'Religious Artifacts' wing. Naturally, this item is also available for bidding through eBay. Have a look quickly, though, there are only 9 days left! (as of this posting)
- Title: “Cheerful Bread”
- Media: Bread. Sunshiny Cheerfulness.
- Submitted by: Anon.
- This may be the most cheerful & pleasant piece of bread I've ever laid my eyes upon. And, yet, he communicates this good cheer without an obviously happy smile. A complex fellow, this piece of bread is.
- Title: “Shrek-ato”
- Media: Potato. Ogre DNA.
- Submitted by: Donna R.
- Donna presents this potato from a Beijing supermarket. To me, it's a toss up as to whether it represents Shrek or Sloth from "The Goonies."
- Title: “Vampire Pie”
- Media: Pie. Lust for blooooooood.
- Submitted by: Amanda R.
- Amanda brought home what she thought was merely a delicious Marie Calendar's Triple Berry Pie to find this spooky, blood-thirsty creature lurking within the simple cardboard box. Obviously, the pie had recently fed on a victim -- or, perhaps, it's a regular pie that just finished reading the 'Twilight' series and got a bit carried away.
- Title: “Skull Leaf”
- Media: Leaf. Unknown spookiness.
- Submitted by: Jaime C.
- Jaime found this leaf on the street. Before you complain that this is not actually a FOOD anomaly, put such thoughts out of your mind: this is plain creeeeeeepy.
- Title: “Happy Corn”
- Media: Corn kernel. Pleasant disposition.
- Submitted by: Michelle D.
- Michelle's son found this happy little kernel of corn on his dinner plate. It was so adorable to him that he couldn't eat it. Proof: a nice smile can work wonders.
- Title: “Swamp Thing Basil”
- Media: Basil. Probably some sort of chemical or radioactive spill.
- Submitted by: Eli J.
- Eli found this image of the Swamp Thing in a basil plant and quickly took this picture. Little did he know that the image of the Swamp Thing would become a holy relic for swamp creatures the world over. His home is now overrun with plant elementals making the pilgrimage to witness this basil leaf firsthand.
- Title: “Banana Duck”
- Media: Overripe Banana. Crappy Flip Phone Camera. Hunger.
- Submitted by: Michelle K.
- They always said that when this banana grew up, it would become a beautiful banana swan. Close enough.
- Title: “Blackhole M&M”
- Media: Chocolate. Candy Coating. Forces of Extreme Gravitational Pull.
- Submitted by: Jarod B.
- Jarod did not supply any notes with this submission because, one assumes, the image is self-evident. This is undoubtedly a M&M that strayed too close to the event horizon of a black hole during its most recent interstellar travels. There can be no other explanation.
- Title: “Subtly Smiley Potato”
- Media: Potato. Knife. Unceasing Optimism.
- Submitted by: Jamie H.
- There are many that might view this food anomaly as nothing particularly special. To many, it'll just be a subtle smiley face in a cut-up potato. But, I say nay, there are many life lessons we can take from this little guy. Imagine the deep-running optimism this potato must have to still present such a warming smile after having all of its sides cut off. It's almost as if it doesn't know that Jamie is in the midst of making mashed potatoes. Good luck, little tater.
