Putting Zs on ice

October 28th, 2008

There’s no actual item for sale in this auction – no zippers, zebras, zucchini, zombies or zeppelins, not even a zephyr. This person just wants to sell “the English (Anglo-Saxon) letter Z to be copywrited and yours.” Presumably, you would receive some kind of paperwork if you bid the $1,789,999 minimum freight, or maybe Zephyrus would visit your house and give you the West wind too… who knows?

I, for one, feel pretty attached to the letter Z, and use it often. Maybe I’ve read The Wonderful O by James Thurber one time too many, but I don’t like the sound of this one bit.
