Jesus Arm Burn for Sale on Ebay

COLUMBUS - A science experiment gone awry has drawn the attention of millions of Christians.  Mount Vernon Middle School Science teacher John Freshwater was only trying to demonstrate to his class the volatile effect that burning a student's arm can have on a teacher's career.

The image of Jesus on the cross which miraculously appeared after Freshwater burned an "X" into the child's arm has rocked the Christian world. 

"This was merely a lesson for students" said Freshwater, "I never expected a miracle.  To be punished for God's intervention is outrageous."

Inspired by the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich that fetched $28,000, the enterprising student has put his arm up for sale on Ebay.
