Cock of ages

April 3rd, 2010

Excavated from some deep crevasse in the state of Washington comes a slab of rock that looks exactly like… well… a penis.

According to eBay seller honestybusybee “this wonderful piece of art was created by the greatest Artist of them all: ‘GOD’!!!” With circum…spection, this seems unusual, especially given the surgical cut of the stone. But who are we to question the forces that created this stubby, metamorphic lingam?

After ostensibly finding this earth-formed creation somewhere out on the long and dusty trail, then keeping it around the house for four years of “great conversations and many laughs,” the seller has finally decided that she is wiling to part with it. And it’s starting bid begins at a mere quarter of a million dollars.

A criminal confession

August 25th, 2008

Once you’ve found that hawking mystic bottlecap necklaces and paintings made by your puppy only yield limited success and the bank is knocking on your door for the mortgage, what do you do?

Apparently, you dig into your psyche for a secret that you are willing to divulge for a price. And in this case, a secret about an illegal act.

This person has written down a confession about a crime he or she committed. The winning bidder gets to do with it as they wish. There are no clues about the crime, so as far as we know, it’s about eating grapes in the grocery store line or driving 27 miles per hour in a school zone. Then again, what’s the statute of limitations on burglary, assault or murder? Could it be something awful?
