One bidder so far.

Meg Whitman is apparently one of the very few "Positive People of the World"

I don't get it - why would anyone want someone's portrait to hang on their living room wall if they aren't related to the person in the portrait?  The only other reason I can see bidding on it is to use it as a dart board?

If I was given a choice between having Meg's portrait hanging on my wall or William Shatner's kidney stone floating in a jar I probably would choose Meg's portrait. 

[Nat]

I'd go for the kidney stone because at least you can do things with it - like,

- put it in the toilet bowl to see if it will float or sink
- put it under the wheel of the car and run over it to see if it will break
- see if it will skip water like skipping stones over water
- use it as a nose on a snowman
- use it as a paper weight

See, a kidney stone has many more uses than a dart board...oops, I mean Meg's portrait.

The Portrait may have some significant value as it could be a look into the future.
It portrays what she may look like after a long prison term.
