Baraka Water:

This isn’t really related to the Presidential Inauguration at all. It’s water from Egypt where the brand name is Baraka. But the seller suggests you pretend that it is official inauguration bottled water. What a conversation piece it will be! Auction #200300932805.

The Inauguration Day Hot Dog Bun

Imagine, on the day of the inauguration, after watching Obama being sworn in, this seller finds a hot dog bun with “09″ stamped on it. What a miracle! What a piece of history to own and commemorate the inauguration of a new president! Action # 290290790439.

This here is the Obama Snowman, made from real snow collected on inauguration day!  If you win this auction, you get 1 melted snow man, his eyes made from pennies and nose made out of a paper clip, and a small gold chain in a snow man shaped jar along with 2 newspapers!  Wow! Now surely that will be worth big money! Auction # 270333168744.

Today we have two twisted lovers carrots:

This endearing photo is of two organic carrots that have wrapped themselves around each other. Clearly they are deeply in love.

Recommended uses include eating them, decorating the house for Halloween with them (is it a tradition somewhere to decorate for Halloween with carrots? I thought it was pumpkins?) or presenting on a plate as shown to the one you love as a sign of your adoration. Or, naturally, if none of those things appeal to you, you can also use it for your own love spells! Now that’s what you call a multi-purpose carrot!

Enter Stupid Ebay Listing for This Week: A Typed Criminal Confession

This seller did something illegal. He wants to “get it off his chest”…while at the same time hopefully raising enough money for his family in case he should be hauled off to jail.

Now, not being a law expert or detective of any sorts (Though I was a big fan of Encyclopedia Brown as a kid!), I am pretty sure that eBay has everyone’s name and physical address – meaning it would be very easy for them to find out who he is and get that information. Even if that is bogus, I’m pretty sure they could trace the IP… (If I have IP tracing on Best of Stupid, I would think a larger, more important site like eBay would as well!)

So if this in itself is pretty dumb, it gets better. The guy did not put any minimum bid or reserve on the auction. I think he was hoping for at least a few thousand dollars – the current bid of $25 would likely not even take care of dinner for his family!

It’s a weird auction. I’m surprised eBay hasn’t questioned it or reported it to authorities, since they are pretty uptight about illegal things for sale on there, and while I guess selling a confession isn’t illegal (is it?), one would think it would certainly be cause for an investigation.

Since eBay only keeps listings for a certain period of time, I won’t link directly to it, but you can click here to search for Auction # 300251265102 to find it.

The big question of course is what do you think he did? My guess would be fraud or maybe he broke a dumb law that’s been around since 1885 that’s not enforced anymore. I don’t think someone would really do this if they were fully guilty of anything major, would they?

‘I think I found it:

This is a full glass of coke available to bid on.

The question I have is how the heck would you ship it? You can’t really pour a glass of coke and stick it in an envelope or box and it still be a glass of coke, can you? (I think it would be a soggy mess!)

It is a bright “red” (it looks pink to me?) flag for anyone to put on their car who has a bad habit of pulling out in front of people when they obviously can’t make it or it wasn’t their turn. With this bright sign saying you have the right of way, you will warn everybody with enough notice to slam on their brakes that you have no idea how to drive.

This is one of those that you really have to read the whole seller’s description to appreciate. It can be found here .

Do you know anybody who could benefit from one of these signs?
