Is there anything that cannot be sold?

quote:
After years of hating the middle name Jean, given to him in honour of a grandfather he did not like, the 31-year-old decided to take action.

He used the auction site eBay to sell his middle name, vowing to replace it with any name the highest bidder chose.

I mean seriously. It's not even his first name! He probably will never use it! $8,000 is a lot of money for advertising that will never be seen!

The world is a pretty crazy place. I hope he really needs that money, or donates it to charity or something.

What would you make him call himself?

Hm. I definately should have put some sort of "clean" qualifier on my question.

Hm, I just about another "odd news" story. Must be one of those days...

Attack Bird

quote:
Residents of Bishopstone, near Salisbury, have reported six assaults by the fowl over the past six months.
*giggle* Who needs dogs when you can have birds?

EDIT: It must be a very unpheasant bird.

Yeah. For that kind of money, I'd make him regret it. Ha ha! Dance, monkey!
