Did you miss sale of Belgium?

So did we. Before eBay cancelled the sale of Belgium, this second-hand item had attracted an offer of 10 million euros.

"Belgium, a kingdom in three parts" was posted on the Belgian eBay site as offering "plenty of choice" despite the caveat that it comes with "300 billion of National Debt". Offered in three parts - Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia - the accompanying blurb said the kingdom "can be bought as a whole (not recommended)". The vendor also included as added extras "the king and his court (costs not included)". EBay spokesman Peter Burin said the site could not host the sale of anything virtual or "unrealistic", the Belga news agency reported.

It's painful enough to see your motherland auctioned off, calling it "virtual" or "unrealistic" is even worse.

The 'vendor' was named as a former journalist, Gerrit Six. Offering his lot at an initial price of one euro, he saw 26 subsequent bids culminating in the 10 million euro offer today before the auction was halted.

The spoof sale was offered while Belgium is mired in a political crisis which has led to discussion over the country's future as a federal state.

Tomorrow marks 100 days since the country's general election with no sign of a coalition government being formed by the political parties in Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia.

According to the eBay spokesman, it wasn't the first time Belgium had been put up for sale.

Due to the continuous political crisis, this might not be the last time either. I guess I'll be saving my euros for another sale.

Skull crusher from Ford

Ford Expedition got a starring role in the finale of "The Sopranos". Here's from The Detroit News:

The scene in question begins with a lingering close-up of the Blue Oval badge on the grille of an Expedition that carries Phil Leotardo, a New York mob boss locked in a deadly feud with series star Tony Soprano. Leotardo gets out of the passenger side and is promptly shot in the head by one of the latter's henchmen. The mafia don falls, his head landing right before the front wheel of the SUV as his wife leaps from the driver's seat, fleeing from the shooter.

The camera then shifts again to the Ford logo, this time emblazoned on the wheel of the Expedition. The wheel begins to turn, rolling slowly over Leotardo's head, which is crushed with a sickening crunch.

Despite the heavy use of Ford imagery, the automaker said it was as surprised by the scene as anybody else.

"The Expedition that appeared in the series finale of 'The Sopranos' last night was not a product placement deal," said Ford spokeswoman Whitney Drake, quoting a prepared statement.

Really? Someone really made sure everyone notices it is a Ford.

Do voodoo in the kitchen

This great Voodoo knife set will make a great present for someone who has to deal with a painful breakup. Might as well do it in the kitchen.

Crafted in rich red, ABS plastic, the highly stylish Voodoo has five strategically-positioned slots in which to place five quality knives,
which are also included.

Apart from its striking appearance the sturdy VOODOO is a brilliant kitchen companion, especially if you're used to using one crummy knife to chop, slice, fillet and dice.

Paper from panda poo

Creative use of panda poo is on the rise. Another zoo, this time in Thailand, make paper from the bamboo pulp extracted from the excrements of two resident pandas. Last year the zoo sold 300,000 baht (£4,330) worth of greeting cards, fans and bookmarks made from poo paper.

'We know that any kind of pulp can be used to make paper, so we have applied the 2,000-year techniques of making paper from mulberry tree in this rural neighbourhood to bamboo pulp from panda dung,' said the zoo's Prasertsak Buntrakoonpoontawee.

Dog and cat poo ideas anyone? Let me know.

Ghost in a wine bottle

You can't really make much money by selling air, so ghost in a bottle seems like a better idea.

This auction is for an unknown ghost that we capture the other day while using a Ouija table.

We saw the specter, completely hypnotyzed by an ancient song that a friend of mine found on the Internet. He slowly entered into the bottle.

We haven't let him out!

I will never forget that night.

We can feel that he's in there. When you hold the bottle you have this strange feeling. It seems to be heavier than a normal empty one. You have this strange attitude of being very careful manipulating it. You also have a strange feeling when looking throught the green glass.

Buy this Ghost at your own risk, we can't prevent what will happen to the person who will release it...maybe he will be mad and think this is you who trapped him. Maybe he will see you as the person who give him a chance to rest in peace. He can also have no idea of what happened and simply get out without boring with you. The only thing we know is that letting him out represent a huge risk. People can also buy it to prevent an idiot from opening it and avoid problems.
