KINGSTON, Ontario - An eastern Ontario man is hoping to make a bit of money by auctioning a fish stick he says looks like Jesus.
Fred Whan, who has kept the fish stick in his freezer since burning it at dinner a year ago, decided Tuesday that it was time to thaw it out so he could sell it on eBay.
A Florida woman recently sold a decade-old grilled cheese sandwich with the toasty visage of what's purported to be the Virgin Mary for $28,000, according to the eBay Web site.
Whan said he made the discovery while cooking dinner for his kids and several other children he was baby-sitting.
"I burned a few fish sticks, and I said, 'Who wants a fish stick?' and no one wanted them because they were burnt, so I thought I'd better give them to the dogs," he said Tuesday.
When he flipped over one of the pieces of fish to remove it from the pan, it seemed the face of a man was staring up at him.
"I said, 'That looks like a rock singer,' and then my son goes, 'It looks like Jesus,' and I said, 'Well, it does, yeah,' " he said.
Whan, 40, said he figured it would make a good conversation piece for friends and decided to throw the triangular piece of fish in the freezer to keep it as a joke. It was never about making any money from it, he said.
MOLON LABE!
An evil tree bears evil fruit. You can destroy as much fruit as you want, but it will always grow back, and it will always be evil.
Tear the tree out of the ground by the roots and burn it. Burn it to ash and grind out the embers with your boot until there's nothing left. Not a single spark. Not a single seed.

It happened a couple times to us when I was doing that work one with the vactor and the other time we was TVing the pipe
What city/cities were you in???
Joe, if it fits in that hole we've pulled it out. This was the last straw and like I said it was only matter of time. I'm amazed it took this long. Since this was an alley basin that the body parts were found in this is what is commonly found. It's not complete but pretty close.

I can add Gators to that list and in a 96' pipe the nozzle kept getting hung up finally got it clean enough to get the camera done in the pipe and found 3 sections of scaffolding
I'd have a ball running your rig,treasure hunt everyday.

The scaffolding is cool and to bad we don't have gators.

Back when we use to winch the camera thru I had a Rat ride the cable from MH to MH most of the time the gators would run from the camera but we had a couple attack it but I think they we're mad drom the jet nozzle chasing them while we was cleaning the pipe
most folks, including me,do/have taken it for granted. But let one plug completely and see who raises hell. So,pretty much,if its been seen above ground its probably been seen in the sewers/drains too.
I'd have a ball running your rig,treasure hunt everyday.
Well most of the time when they get plugged up it is because there is dirt and debris on top of the grate. You think if you had one of these grates in front of your house that you'd try and keep it clean. We can clean a catch basin and grate on Monday and by Friday it is plugged up again. There is so much trash in the streets in certain parts of the city and throw in some grass clippings and leaves and its a disaster in the making.
On a positive note the newer and or better parts of the city have separate storm and sanitary sewers so it is not as much of a problem.
The parts of the city I clean are where the sanitary and storm sewers are combined known as a Combine System. These are found in the older parts of the city. This is where the rats and cockroaches hang out as well.

Are main problems are the Raccoons in the storm sewers. I also heard that one of our TV crews flipped their camera over and couldn't get it out. Supposedly they were gonna do a complete dig out.
Looks like you live close to where a couple of our TV trucks were made we had couple of the ARIES truck
Yes Aries is in Waukesha and less then a mile from Midwest Industries.
Kinda makes it convenient at times.[;)]

In my younger skinner days I would crawl pipe down to 15" to go get the camera my limit now is a 36" pipe

All of our cameras have the 6 wheel configuration and then range in size from 4 inch tires up to 10 inch tires. Only problem is most but not all of our manholes are 30 inches across.
It wasn't that long ago where we had the tracked cameras and it wasn't that long before that then we had the ones that were pulled through by a cable. We did have a former Tunnel Rat from Vietnam that did those sort of things of what you speak.
He retired a couple of years ago and died about a year after retirement. We've got to many fat women and men working here now. So it isn't to often we even go down in the holes any more.
