I don't know if this story warrants a  : or a    Perhaps both are appropriate for this "collectibles" news.

Egads...

Yes, I heard that on the 6:00 news last night and couldn't believe THAT of all things hit the news?  They said he wanted to sell his kidney stone on eBay but said they wouldn't allow him to because it was a "body part" and body parts are not allowed to be sold on eBay. 

Seems to me like he's grasping at the straws to try and keep him name known these days.

He sold it on Monday to casino GoldenPalace.com for $25,000.  He's donating the proceeds to Habitat for Humanity

That's disgusting.  Hey, wait a minute, I have a fibroid tumor - maybe I should get it removed so that I can pickle it in a jar and sell it too? 

Blech!!! This whole thing is gross.  I'm surprised he doesn't get lipsuction and sell the fat that they take out.  Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewe, don't give him any ideas, he probably would do that as that is just as equally disgusting as selling his kidney stone. 

Blech and I just had breakfast.
