Blow Your Top 'Miracle' as communion wafer becomes heart tissue

The Catholic Church in Poland is investigating claims of a miracle after a piece of communion wafer was reported to have been transformed into human heart tissue after falling into water during a mass.

Perhaps it was an embryonic stem cell...

However, how can one distinguish heart tissue just by looking at it? Is it marked like assemble-your-self furntiture with some sort of identifier?

Cardiac muscle has a different cell structure than other body tissues.

I don't think they are the only unique cells, though.

However, how can you tell just by looking at it? It's a rare person who can see muscle cells with the bare eye.

That's just a myth. Actually, Soylent Green uses artificial people flavoring.

Though I hear that they're going to change it's name to "I Can't Believe It's Not People".
