Woman thinks Chicken Nugget resembles George Washington (not the Onion)

A Nebraska woman is auctioning a three-year-old McDonald's Chicken McNugget she believes resembles our nation's first president, George Washington. And it looks like she's on pace to make some cash in the sale. But, it's all for a good cause.

The Sioux City Journal reports that Rebekah Speights is selling the patriotic McNugget to help raise money for a church summer camp. As of posting time, the McNugget had received 17 different bids and was going for $356 on Ebay. The auction is scheduled to end on March 1st.

"I looked down at the McNugget and just started laughing," Speights told the Journal. "I saw this portrait of George Washington staring back at me."

So, how did she discover the politically-themed piece of poultry? Speights writes on her Ebay page: "As I was cleaning up, I noticed one particular nugget and began to laugh. I picked it up for a closer look, and sure enough it was in the likeness of President George Washington. I decided to take it home and show my husband this hysterical find."

And like George Washington himself, this McNugget is no spring chicken. Speights writes that she nearly ate it while dining at a Sioux City McDonald's three years ago. After her children refused to eat the McNugget, Speights says she noticed the resemblance to Washington.

Usually I can kind of make out something--no matter how much of a stretch-- that makes me sort of understand.

Some people have way too much need to see something in everything...

Humans can look at ANYTHING and see a face.

Clearly, that is Washington with the dentures IN.

Very much like Mozart, Beethoven, and all the great decomposers.
