-Economist has reported on October 30th, 2003 that a Catholic priest "placed a relic of Mother Teresa" on the body of Terri Schiavo who has been in a coma in a Florida hospital.
-This is an interview with somebody who met Mother Teresa. Note that he mentioned that Mother Teresa "pulled a piece of bread out of her apron pocket". What he did not mention is that she also kept 16" Pizza (with eggplants), two serving of Kung Pao Chicken, 3 Black Forest Cakes, 57 oranges, and 478 burritos all in her apron pocket. How did she fit all that? Well, you know how.(Thanks to Kyle for the link)
