Holy sacrilege Batman!

I am not a religious person, but the theft of the Nun Bun from my old Nashville haunt Bongo Java is beyond blasphemous.

Metro’s police report on the theft estimated the bun’s value at $25. It said the “Mother Theresa Cinnamon Bun” was the only item taken. As stolen goods, the bun was classified in property category No. 77, for “other.”

Sure, the tangible value might be only $25 (really? that much?) but its spiritual value is off the charts.

Not to mention the fact that it made the front page of The Tennessean. I suppose that is a good thing, though. At least no one was maimed or otherwise injured, no tsunami stories, no war stories, nothing that involves people. But the Nun Bun, stolen!

What is the world coming to, people?!?

EDIT: And it is slowly making international headlines.
