There are plenty of pizza purists out there who debate what
makes the perfect pie with almost religious zeal.
But a three-cheese pizza cooked up at an Australian pizzeria
recently inspired more theological discussion than usual. The "cheesus pizz" emerged piping hot from the oven with
what looked like an image of a bearded man in the gooey, melted toppings.
"I can definitely say this isn't a fake," Posh Pizza owner
Maree Phelan told Australia's news.com. Phelan also reported having a stint of good luck in the wake of the special pizza delivery, including avoiding a ticket while parked in a loading
zone.

And though she said that the pizza's holiness was "open to
interpretation," Phelan did put the vacuum packed pie up for auction on eBay,
promising to donate the proceeds to charity. The Cheesus Pizza received 26 bids and ultimately went
for $153 Australian (about $160 US.)
