Couple find God - in an eggplant

(Splash) - A married couple say they have found God - in an aubergine.
Felicia Teske and husband Paul were about to fry the vegetable for dinner.
But when she sliced it up she noticed the seeds inside one segment appeared to spell out the word "GOD". Husband Paul Teske said: "It's definitely there.
"It has all been a pretty strange experience."
He added: "We haven't altered it at all.
"You don't need to use your imagination to see it."
He said he thought it might be a sign - because his office manager wife, a practicing Catholic, is about to change jobs.
Paul, 67, told a local newspaper: "If she would have cut it one way or the other, it may not have spelled that [GOD] out."
Felicia said: "It was the only slice that looked like that."
It doesn't say anything on the other side.
The 55-year-old also told a US TV news channel that some of her relatives had died recently, making her wonder if it was also some kind of sign.
The couple, from Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, now plans to sell the aubergine - known as an eggplant in the States - on Internet auction site eBay.
They bought the purple vegetable at a local farmer's market last week before cooking it on Sunday.
It is currently being stored in a zipped-lock plastic bag to keep it fresh.
