A must have for the Star Wars collector.
Its funny that there are actually bids.

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Whoever is responsible for those things certainly has my vote.

There will always be a special place in my heart for absurd humor... and going as far as to post it on eBay just makes it that much better.
For as much as some people claim to hate what Star Wars has become, they sure seem incapable of shutting up about it.

I heard that someone was auctioning off Michael Moore's reputation earlier today, but when I went to look, I couldn't find it.

Yes I've tried similar searches for Donald Rumsfeld's integrity, Dick Cheney's heart, George W. Bush's brain and Darth Chaltab's sense of humor; all to no avail.

Someone sold "wind from hurricane isabel" trapped in a ziplock bag. It sold for upwards of 100 dollars. The best part was the disclaimer...along the lines of:

WARNING!!: DO NOT OPEN BAG! INTENSE WINDS COULD ESCAPE INTO THE ROOM AND CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY.

But it was better written.

You have to be kidding me! Was it not even portrayed as a joke? Did someone actually believe it was serious? And arent' there regulations on what can be put on EBAY?

<reads ebay ad>
<immidiately digs through desk to build own x wing>
<discovers none of the parts needed>
<closes desk>

The thing is that i wouldnt have been surprised if they went for ten bucks each. And yes having the chutzpa to put it on ebay makes it that much more entertaing.

<wonders what the "Any bids over £10 will also receive a limited edition Elastic Band Death Star free of charge." death star looks like>

You know, I don't know. Maybe someone wanted to commemorate it. All I know is I laughed, I looked at the high bid, and then I laughed twice as hard.

Is "elastic band" british for Rubber Band? If so, I've seen those rubber band balls that people compile. They're pretty cool. And basically...a sphere.

I'm sure if not rubber bands themselves, elastic bands are similar.

(And yes, I realize how silly it is to call American: English and English English: British. In case any Canadians or Euros take offense. It's for silliness)

Those are great.

It's amazing what some people will buy, isn't it?

I think I'm gonna build one.

You should spray paint some of those sticks doctors use to examine your throat gold and staple them together in the shape of a human and call it C3PO.

It doesn't match my furniture.

Seriously, what would you DO with that thing? Are those real waffles?

What would you do with that thing?
- No idea. That's why I'm not bidding on it.

Are those real waffles?
- No. A guy working for a company that makes foam hats for the OSU Buckeyes was able to make them for the project.
