Elvis has left the burrito

There’s a funny article on bakersfield.com that I didn’t see in the paper. It’s about a guy who faked an image of Elvis on a tortilla and then put it up for sale on Ebay. According to the article “He said he's just taking a quick poke at a little piece of Bakersfield's history. He's long heard of the holy visions seen by locals. A Bakersfield woman reportedly had found images of the Virgin Mary in the burn shadows of a candle's glass container, and, earlier, in a flame-toasted tortilla. In 2003, believers flocked to a home in Delano to catch an image of the same Our Lady of Guadalupe cast upon the chimney walls.”
