If thought that you've seen it all, take a look at this!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1469&item=5580239741&rd=1Some guy truly thinks (or he has a great sense of humor) that people are willing (or THAT stupid) to pay 500$ (or more...?) for a piece of finely cast and weathered plaster! Looks pretty convincing... But if the guy's friend was abducted and got this thing, then it has to be a real thing!
Check out the sales speech: "This piece is one of a kind and possibly the greatest find in the history of the world, i mean universe" Whoa, I'm impressed! I've always wanted a real alien artifact to hang on my wall. I wouldn't pay 500$ (fortunately nobody did) for that, I'd rather wait on my back yard waiting to be abducted & probed! :-)

OH.... GeeWeez.... had I known about that I would have surely sent my $500.00 to him, just to have this rare and unusual item sitting in the flower garden. How could anyone in their right mind, let this pass. I surely hope he relists it, since no one bid on it, so I can. :-) :-) :-)

You'll have to be quick dave, as i'm also planning on getting this "greatest find in the history of the world" :-)
I like it when he said
"...There are no ears on the head though, maybe they hear telepathically."
:-) Oh no ears, then of course, they must hear telepathically.

Maybe the people (GoldenPalace.com) who bought the grilled cheese with the face Mary on it will buy the Alien head...
That lady got $28,000...
