Crazy News

truth is stranger than fiction

from JoeUser Forums
       So I'm reading the paper today while I have lunch and I find two crazy stories.
       The first is about a "ghost cane" that sold for $65000 on ebay. Bought by the same company that bought the virgin mary moldy sandwich. The owner of the cane said she was selling it so that her 6 year old son would think that his grandfathers ghost would leave the house with it. Tis just silly, that's what I think.
       And second is a company called Allerca that is genetically manipulating (for lack of a better term) cats that people arn't allergic too. They plan on having sold 200000 by 2010, and are looking for $7000 a kitten. And since the cats could pass on their changes to their offspring, everyone they sell will be sterile. While this one is less silly then the cane, I still say it's crazy.
       Now I'll go and look for links to see if this news exists elsewhere besides the local paper...

Those are truly bizarre. And truth is stranger than fiction.

-Isn't that what the lady who sold the virgin Mary grilled cheese said? Haha. Jeez, these people with their crazy stuff...but what about the CRAZY people who buy them??? (Not the cat, I mean. The cat thing's a bit excessive, but at least there's a logical reason for it.)

I guess they saved on shipping, though?

That's it... I'm tired of everyone else making money off their stupid sh*t while I'm stuck with mine.

Do you think people would pay for a haunted puzzle of a wizard? It glows at night... it's really freaky..... any takers?

Sure, I'll pay shipping costs. Unless it's missing pieces, then it's no good

I knew there was a reason I should shop on eBay more...things are cheaper there, right?

Ugh. My grandmother-in-law has become an eBayer in the last decade. Her office went from being clean and airy to cramped, dusty, and full of utter crap.

Shipping and handling was included.

I seriously did not make this up. One of the news shows I watched showed the actual picture of the "air guitar" and the final selling price...hilarious

I woulnt buy the puzzle, i already got rid of the monster under my bed not to take a ghost home!

but maybe the ghost can help with the monster? The puzzle is of a wizard... so maybe the ghost has powers too?
