Nun Bun Fate Update A Sri Lankan opthamologist is being questioned over the 2004 disappearance of the Nun Bun from Bongo Java coffee shop, Nashville,USA.

The cinnamon bun that so closely resembles the late Mother Teresa was preserved in a glass case in a display of T-shirts, prayer cards, mousepads, pens, pennants, scarves, gloves, socks, badges, posters, bumper stickers, key rings, frig magnets, penknives, kitchen towels, barbecue aprons, beer tankards, shot glasses, coffee mugs and cushion covers -- all with the bun's image.

Mother Teresa personally wrote, in shakey hand, a letter pleading for the sales to be stopped in case they be misconstrued as profiting from the plight of the poor and the sick, but the cafe management explained that only a few small mementos of highest quality and good taste were being sold. Also, every last cent from any sales went straight into the local church for disbursment among the city's poorer classes.

But the theft of the Nun Bun in late 2004 brought fear of divine wrath to some. To others it brought incomprehension.

"Why would anyone want to steal a cinnamon bun with a shrivelled old dead nun on it?", said Police Investigator Montalbano. "And it sure beats me how they found the darned thing in the first place. There's so much tourist junk in there you can't get a coffee no more."
