Casper the Ghost on the Face of a Fried Egg? You be the judge!

Yes, a dude in Taiwan found a Casper the Ghost face, sort of, on a fried egg and he almost ate the ghostly but friendly (and smiling) apparition at a local breakfast shop, but just before he ate it, he realized it was a lucky find. A newspaper reporter came over the dingy dive to photograph the egg, and the story made national news in Taiwan. Hardly important news, in fact, very minor, silly news. But it’s a start — of something. What, we don’t know. Transnational humour.
The dude is putting the egg on E-bay for sale on auction as soon as he figures out how to register at Ebay since
1. he does not own a computer and
2. he does not have a credit card
However, let the news and photo travel around the blogosphere via this link and let the fun and hijinx begin. All monies from this fried egg auction will be donated to a non-profit group working to stem climate change and global warming, and the dude pictured here will not, repeat, will NOT, claim any of the final bid money as his own, since he was merely the go-between for this lucky
Casper the Ghost find. This all belongs to the Universe, and what some have called
Harmonic Convergence.
Go, little egg, and find your world. In this sad sad tragic world of war, disease, famine, poverty and hunger.

And don’t laff. Okay, laff! Laughter is good for what ails ye, yes. Me too!

CASPER THE GHOST FOR BREAKFAST?
An expat eggman with egg on his face, Danny Bloom, 60 going on 19, displays a fried egg that looks like the face of Casper the Ghost in front of a breakfast shop in Chiayi County on the island nation of Taiwan on January 16, 2009. Bloom discovered the egg when eating at a local breakfast store and plans to auction the egg for charity on eBay because he thinks that the egg face of Casper the Ghost can make people smile and laugh.
