How weird is this.



Serial Killer FINGERNAILS Signed for sale.

Serial Killer Roy Norris. "In 1979, Lawrence Bittaker and prison buddy Roy Norris set out on a mission to pick up young girls and brutally rape, torture, and kill them." The pair claimed 5 victims, but authorities felt the real number was much higher. Three of Roy's fingernails, affixed with a small piece of tape, to a "recycled" card (the back of a portion of a color Christmas card), approx. 4"x2.5" in size. He's penned a long note authenticating the nails, which fills half the card. At bottom right, he's signed IN FULL over a perfect right thumb print, in black ink. Absolutely guaranteed authentic for life, or your money back.

The auction has ended and they were sold for $9.99

Rob. Here's another for sale.



ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for sale, zero, zilch, nada. NO RESERVE on this vastly under appreciated commodity. Why suffer the disappointment of shelling out big bucks on junk you don't want, can't afford, and don't need, when, for a small fee, you can completely bypass the disappointment! You expect nothing, and that's precisely what you will get. I'm hoping I can build up a regular clientele for absolutely nothing, because finding nothing is much easier to acquire than most of the other items I sell. And shipping costs are minimal, because, well, nothing weighs nothing. And it's very cheap for me to buy, as it costs me nothing. So forget about those Beamers, those houses in the suburbs, those electronic gadgets, those fashionable clothes that are outdated before you leave the store THEY won't bring you happiness, NOTHING will!

Therefore, NOTHING is most. Here is your chance to FINALLY get exactly what you've always deserved! Bid with confidence, because I guarantee NOTHING! Aren't you weary of everyone whining that they can't find NOTHING to buy? Well, here it is, ladies and gentlemen, step right up and mail me your dollars, I have an unlimited supply of what you really need most in your life, but were never quite sure how to acquire it. You could pay hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars for the same thing from any one of a hundred political organizations, religious groups, or federally mandated taxing organizations, and not get one single thing that I'm not providing for a nominal fee of a $1.00 bid. And don't despair if you get sniped out at the last minute this week, I'll have a fresh supply available next week as well. Item is guaranteed to be exactly as described. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax."

In what is surely the strongest signal yet that the world's economy is healthy and talk of an impending depression is piffle, someone has offered more than $1,000 on eBay for a piece of breakfast cereal that - its sellers claim - looks like the state of Illinois.

Two sisters listed 'The Great Illinois Corn Flake' on the auction site, promising that it had undergone no cosmetic alterations to make it look more Illinoisy.

Emily McIntire, a 15-year-old sophomore in high school from Chesapeake, Virginia, said she was grabbing fistfuls of cereal on her way to class when she found the flake.

'It was almost to my mouth, it didn't look like Illinois at first because it was held the wrong way,' said McIntire.

But then she noticed the resemblance and said, 'Oh my goodness, it's Illinois.'

In a stroke of genius, the McIntire sisters say they've decided to use the proceeds from the eBay sale to buy more boxes of Frosted Flakes.

'We've got to replace the one we've already sold,' Melissa
