SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 10:44 A.M. ET:

From London's Telegraph:  A MUSLIM claims to have found a message from God – in a tomato.  Salman Gul discovered the apparent Arabic words as he munched on a roll bought from Subway in Normanton Road, Derby.  When a slice of tomato fell out he saw what appeared to be the message "Muhammad is God's Messenger" formed in Arabic text by the tomato's veins.

Look, we don't question religious beliefs here, and we respect the man's devotion.  But somehow I don't see Subway as quite on the level of Fatima, Mecca, or the Wailing Wall.  I mean, will there be pilgrimages?  How does Subway explain this in New York?
