This story was in this morning's daily telegraph. I'm pleased about the second picture because I thought it related to rugby league legend Andrew Ettingshausen, known by the fans as ET.

Now a single Kellogg's Nutri-Grain with a remarkable similarity to E.T. has been auctioned on the internet for $1035.<p>Wait a second. The Nutri-Grain looks nothing like "ET." It looks like a jack o' lantern, if anything.<p>

My favorite quote: "I was just trying to find someone who feels the same way about E.T. as they do about the Virgin Mary."
