after he arrived in the parish in 2019, he heard from Shane Bernard, a curator and histo- rian from McIlhenny, who wondered if the “urban myth” about the painting was true. When DuPre confirmed the product placement, Bernard sent a large commemorative collector’s bottle of Tabasco. Christie Hebert, the artist, told The Daily Advertiser that she was asked not to make the painting an exact replica of the DaVinci original; the priest at that time “wanted to make it unique to our area,” she said.

Another witness, Brenda Rippetoe, said, “There was mail all over the street. They kept going around the block, and at one point, they were front-to-front, hitting their bumpers together.”
Residents called 911, and the postal service sent other carriers to pick up the mail, which was delivered by 7 p.m. People along the route said their regular carrier was on vacation, so the angry stand- ins were unfamiliar to them.

During a May 24 broadcast on the BBC of the French Open tennis championship, the news ticker at the bottom of the screen briefly read, “Manchester United are rub- bish,” Reuters reported. Later, BBC anchor Annita McVeigh issued an on-air apology and said the headline had been written by someone who was learning how to operate the ticker.

Vicky Umodu of Colton, California, was thrilled to find two free sofas and a matching chair on Craigslist for her new house. She was skeptical, but the owners explained that a family member had passed away, and they were liquidat- ing the possessions, ABC7 News reported on June 2. When she got the furniture home, she felt some kind of item in one of the cushions and thought it might be a heating pad, but upon further inspection, she found several envelopes filled with cash.

“Behind the scenes, some- one was training to learn how to ... put text on the ticker. So they were just writing ran- dom things. It wasn’t meant to appear on screen. I hope that Manchester United fans weren’t offended by it,” she added.
“I was just telling my son, ‘Come, come, come!’ I was screaming, ‘This is money! I need to call the guy!’”
Hot Take
In Parks, Louisiana, a ren- dering of the Last Supper in the St. Joseph Catholic Church has all the usual ele- ments — plus one regionally iconic extra: a bottle of McIl- henny’s Tabasco hot sauce, conveniently placed in front of one of Jesus’ disciples.
Umodu found a staggering $36,000 in total. She returned the cash to the family, who told her they had found other hidden stashes in the deceased man’s home, but not such large amounts. As a gesture of thanks, they gave Umodu $2,200, money she needed for a refrigerator.
