The Strange Craze of Goldfish Swallowing: A Peculiar College Fad of the 1930s

No, it’s not one of Batman’s or Robin’s favorite sayings, it’s actually what one Arizona family thought when they saw their Christmas cheesecake once it had cooled a while after it had been removed from the oven.
The family, whose name has not been released, decided to make themselves a cheesecake for Christmas and were surprised to see that a crack had formed in the top of the dessert in the shape of a crucifix. The cake, pictured in an Arizona newspaper, does not seem as remarkable as the holiday bakers appear to think at first glance. As well as a second or third glance. I think you know where we’re coming from.
Frankly, it looks like a pretty ordinary crack that one would expect to see on the top of your standard-issue cheesecake. Sure, it’s cracked in two places and kind of resembles a crucifix, but I think the family’s plan to sell it and donate the proceeds to charity might be met with disappointment. Admittedly, that may be too hasty a conclusion. There is the famous story of the “Virgin Mary toast” to consider, which was sold for a whopping $28,000 on the auction site eBay back in 2004.
We’re a bit puzzled about the reasons that a divine entity would have to finger paint on a slice of toast or crack a cheesecake in order to make it look like a crucifix. It seems like beings with that kind of ability would be spending their time on more important things.
