George Washington Chicken McNugget sells on eBay for $8,100

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. — A three-year-old McDonald’s Chicken McNugget said to resemble George Washington has sold on eBay for $8,100.

The tiny, fried piece of fast-food chicken that may or may not look like America’s first president rang up 71 bids from 23 bidders, with bidding ending Monday morning.

The McNugget seller was Rebekah Speight of Dakota City, Neb., who explained on the eBay site that she picked it up about three years ago when she took her children to McDonald’s and one particular nugget in their order leaped out at her.

“Sure enough,” she wrote, “it was in the likeness of President George Washington.”

So she stored it in the freezer, where the presidential piece of poultry remained until she decided to auction it off to raise money for a church camp.

Speight told The Sioux City Journal that once she received payment she would ship the nugget off to its new owner — packed in dry ice to preserve it.

Unexplained Mysteries.

A few months ago, I went through some weird phase in my life where I got really into paranormal/unexplained phenomena and mysteries not well known to the general public. I’ve always known about Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster, but always wondered what else is out there? There was never really a list or anything that had much on it, except for the usual. So hopefully this piques peoples interest. There is so much more than what is listed here, but these are the ones that really caught my eye. Especially the first one, as you can tell. There’s nothing paranormal, or even monsters of that sort, but just weird stories, places, and people that make you think about what really goes on in this world.

On January 22, 1985, the Coventry Freeman organization were having a dinner event at St. Mary’s Guildhall in Coventry, U.K. Everyone in the group had her or his head bowed in prayer when this photo was taken — including a towering, mysterious figure standing top left. The strange cowled spectre appears to be wearing clothing much like a monk’s frock from another time. Lord Mayor Walter Brandish, who was present at the dinner, said there was no one at the event who was dressed like that, and he could not explain the presence of the interloper in the photo. St. Mary’s Guildhall dates back to the 14th century and served as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots.

fuckyeahunexplained: A family abandoned their bathroom fearing it had been possessed by the devil after an image of Satan appeared overnight - in a tile. Laszlo Csrefko spent a fortune renovating the room at the family home in Bekasmegyer, Budapest, with a new bath, shower and tiles. But after taking her first shower, horrified wife Andrea, 47, fled from the bathroom when she spotted the horned head of the devil in one of the tiles. “I was naked coming out of the shower and I could suddenly see his eyes staring into me. I just screamed and ran,” she said. Husband Laszlo, 52, explained: “We can’t clean it off and it wasn’t there when we put the tiles up. It just appeared overnight and nothing can move it. “The room is always ice cold no matter how high we turn the heating up and we’ve just stopped using it because it’s too spooky. “We wash in the sink downstairs now,” he added. Now the couple are planning to call in an exorcist to cleanse their bathroom of evil spirits. “We need some help from God or from the spirit world or we’re going to seal up the room forever,” said Laszlo.

fuckyeahunexplained: Star jelly (also called astromyxin, astral jelly, pwdr sêr, star rot, or star shot) is a gelatinous substance, which, according to folklore, is deposited on the earth during meteor showers.  It is described as a translucent or grayish white gelatin which tends to evaporate shortly after having fallen. Explanations have ranged from the material being the remains of frogs and toads, or of worms, to the byproducts of cyanobacteria, to paranormal origins. Reports of the compound date back to the 14th century and continue to the present.

fuckyeahunexplained: This photo was taken during an investigation of Bachelor’s Grove cemetery near Chicago by the Ghost Research Society (GRS). On August 10, 1991, several members of of the GRS were at the cemetery, a small, abandoned graveyard on the edge of the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve, near the suburb of Midlothian, Illinois. Reputed to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the U.S., Bachelor’s Grove has been the site of well over 100 different reports of strange phenomena, including apparitions, unexplained sights and sounds, and even glowing balls of light. GRS member Mari Huff was taking black and white photos with a high-speed infrared camera in an area where the group had experienced some anomalies with their ghost-hunting equipment. The cemetery was empty, except for the GRS members. When developed, this image emerged: what looks like a lonely-looking young woman dressed in white sitting on a tombstone. Parts of her body are partially transparent and the style of the dress seems to be out of date. Other ghosts reportedly seen in Bachelor’s Grove include figures in monks’ clothes and the spirit of a glowing yellow man.

paranormalpasta: The Bélmez Faces or the Faces of Bélmez is an alleged paranormal phenomenon in a private house in Spain which started in 1971 when residents claimed to see images of faces appear in the concrete floor of the house. Such images have continuously formed and disappeared on the floor of the home since that time. Located at the Pereira family home at Street Real 5, Bélmez de la Moraleda, Jaén, Spain, the Bélmez faces have been responsible for bringing large numbers of sightseers to Bélmez. The phenomenon is considered by some parapsychologists the best-documented and “without doubt the most important paranormal phenomenon [in the 20th] century”. Various faces have appeared and disappeared at irregular intervals since 1971 and have been frequently photographed by the local newspapers and curious visitors. Many Bélmez residents believe that the faces were not made by human hand. Some investigators believe that it is a thoughtographic phenomenon unconsciously produced by the owner of the house, María Gómez Cámara. (“Thoughtography” is considered a form of psychokinesis among parapsychologists.) Skeptical researchers point out that unlike other psychic claims this case is falsifiable. Since the faces of Bélmez are fixed on whitewash of cement, scientists are able to analyze the molecular changes that took place in such mass of concrete. Skeptics have performed extensive tests on the faces and maintain they have demonstrated that fakery has been involved.
