Some guy just sold a "ghost in a jar," and the ending to what I'm sure is a really scary story, on eBay for $50,922. If he thinks ghosts are hard to catch, just wait till he tries to collect his money. (Via Reason.)
*No offense, Matt.
Posted by Jim Treacher at June 6, 2003 02:08 PMWhat scares me the most is that the high bidder is obviously a joke- but there's a bunch of other folks with reasonable ratings that bid on it too... people are dumb and/or EBAY's more fucked than I thought.
Posted by: B. David at June 6, 2003 03:25 PMI think the word you were looking for is "Welsh." Unless I just don't know what you're talking about.
Posted by: Matt Welch at June 6, 2003 04:26 PM"Welsh" is only used by people that pronounce "Welch" correctly. Those that don't say "welch".
Posted by: Hoodie Craw at June 6, 2003 04:35 PMHow dare you insult my proud Welsh ancestry?!! I come from a proud line of people who have no intention of paying for what they bid on on EBAY.

Posted by: Hoodie Craw at June 6, 2003 06:33 PMHoly crap, it does say "Welsh rabbit," doesn't it? Advantage: Blogosphere!
