The Chinese Farmer and the Divine Pear


After the story on image of Jesus on Mars, Cheetos and on the lid of Marmite, it seemed fitting to show you what a farmer has done with Buddha.
It's a technique, which took Gao Xianzhang six years to get just right.
He confines each piece of fruit in a plastic mold for a certain amount of time as it grows into a Buddha.

This unique Buddha idea has been like a blessing, people have been snatching up the pears, and at a price of $10 each Gao hopes the rest of the world will catch on too.

His next crop of Buddha's is expected to be somewhere around 10,000, and he plans to start shipping them to Europe.
