In case any of you peeps were wondering: no, as a matter of fact I DON’T want a real preserved mummified giant squid fetus for my birthday.

That has to be the all-time weirdest thing I’ve ever seen on E-bay. Once I saw some dollar-off coupons for Steak & Ale being offered on E-bay, which I found a bit strange as it would seem that by the time you’d bid, paid, and mailed the thing, the buyer wouldn’t save any money and the seller wouldn’t make any money. Myself, I either give coupons I’m not gonna use to my friends, or throw them away - E-bay would not have occurred to me. Although I didn't quite see the point, still Steak & Ale coupons pale in comparison to mummified squid fetuses. Fetuses? Or feti? I shall look it up...ah, fetuses it is. Feti sounds more correct, somehow, but I presume the Cambridge dictionary people know best.

Okay, anyway - here you go, Laurel - this brings me to the Third Official Contest of my blog. Anyone who finds something on E-bay weirder than the mummified squid fetus, e-mail me the link & the weirdest of the weird wins a valuable prize. Here is your obligatory Legal Disclaimer: ‘grosser’ shall not be deemed synonymous with ‘weirder’, and ‘weirder’ shall be determined solely in the personal opinion of Helly, and shall not be subject to debate.
