For Sale: Virgin Mary apparition on virtual wood

The Virgin Mary has miraculously appeared on a piece of virtual wood.
  
  


There's nothing like religious imagery to get the capitalist cogs in action.

Wonderland brings the good news of the latest "miracle" to emerge in the terminally-expansive body of Marian apparitions. The creator of a newly generated cube object in the virtual world Second Life, where Residents are encouraged to build objects out of wooden shapes called "prims", recently noticed that his creation featured a slightly Mother of God-like optical illusion, and decided that he'd flog it for cash on the Second Life marketplace site SLExchange.


This incredible item is a gift from God himself and a true sign of His existence. People will flock from sims around to see this prim, to touch it, to be healed by it's holy aura. Never before has such a sight been seen in SL. Seize the opportunity to own this wonder today!


But is anyone prepared to pay the 30K Linden Dollar (~$100) asking price? Enter the relativity of wealth discussion here.

If you're keen to catch a glimpse of Her Holiness, here's a good guide to maximising your apparition potential.
