Howdy friends:

You may have heard that two sisters recently sold a corn flake shaped
like the state of Illinois for $1,350. (True, on Ebay.)

Well, in the greater interest of the philosophical community, I set an
image of the corn flake next to an county-map-image of the state of
Illinois, and I'm just not sure I see $1,350 worth of resemblance
there.

But I invite your opinion. Here's the comparison:

Call me fussy, but I expect better for my corn flake dollar.

If anyone would be interested in a mitten shaped like my home state of
Michigan, please let me know. Bidding starts at a modest $250....
