Food for thought- and money.

With little excitement in my life to speak of, I turned to the Internet to see if there was anything that was worthy of a blog entry. Not surprisingly, I found something worthy of an entry and much more, $6,100, in fact. In Japan, a Black Densuke Watermelon was sold in an auction for $6,100. A black watermelon. I might be the only one, but I personally think that whoever would pay that much money for a freaking watermelon, despite being rare, that you'll soon eat and forget about, has some serious priority issues. After finding this story mildly interesting, decided to see what other insanely ridiculous rich people there were in the world. Monty Kerr of Texas paid $1,350 for, are you ready for this? $1,350 for a cornflake in the shape of Illinois. I find this especially funny because he doesn't even live in Illinois. I think that it's safe to say that many rich Texan men are a little (ok, very) moronic. Also, somewhere out there there is a $28,000 piece of toast with the Virgin Mary's face on it. Thats just plain sad. You'd think that people would have better things to do than buy things that slightly resemble something with their money. But alas, no, so if you'll excuse me, I have a sculpture to make out of cheez-wiz that resembles the pope.
