This is a jawdropper:

Check out The Mouse Pope .

The auction is closed, so you'll only get to see the picture for a few seconds.

It is (or was) a real mouse. I just can't get over how low in taste this is.

Wow....taxidermy by itself kind of freaks me out, but this is just poor taste. I can't believe anyone would actually want to buy this.

Ugh. Creepy taxidermy. How Norman Bates!

After the screen flips, just scroll down. You can see the picture then.

I can't believe 9 different people bid on it and it sold for $84.69.

I was looking earlier today at krugerrands. With the price of gold sky-rocketing, I was thinking of selling mine. $526 an ounce. [Eek!]

I'm probably missing something, but why is this in poor taste? I mean, I think it's icky, and I certainly wouldn't buy it, but...?

Have you viewed the seller's OTHER auctions?

Mom selling teens stuff they leave lying around

Hilarious... She should relist.

There's a camera in there... and a bunch of other decent things. I could get all my Christmas shopping done for $50!

Here are some more weird ones:

a Texas chip You can buy whole bags of these at HEB in Texas. They are not unusual. They are MADE like this. We also have pretzels shaped like boots. I could make a fortune and get out of debt!

crying sponge This woman needs to get out more.
