Actually, no bids
20K is what the seller is asking for it. Nobody is buying. Wheeeww. Glad to see people aren't so stupid.

6. Life just doesn't make any sense. I've got 2 upclose tickets to
the Bonnie Raitt concert on eBay and haven't had a single bid. Life's a bitch when a potato gets 20K and Bonnie gets zilch.

24. Yes, it's in L.A. at the Wiltern Theater on Nov. 21. You should
know though that these tickets are standing only - if you've ever been to the Wiltern, they sell the best tickets where an orchestra would normally be, but there's no seats. Actually it's kind of fun because you can mingle a lot better with people and dance around; you just can't sit down.

18. That tail may indicate "evolution".... now mightn't it. Then again, if
you look it up...



http://www.coccyx.org/medabs/falzoni.htm
The human tail. Report of a case of coccygeal retroposition in childhood
Minerva Pediatrica

1995 Nov; 47(11): 489-91

Falzoni P, Boldorini R, Zilioli M, Sorrentino G

Facolta di Medicina, Universita degli Studi - Novara.

The authors explain a little patient's case of coccydynia by back-position of the coccyx; the patient underwent an operation of partial resection with favourable clinical outcome. According to classification, the treated case corresponds to vestigial tail.

23. No problem.
The yam is basically a large seed. The seed has to be planted in Mother Earth's womb to propagate.

Wait a minute, that sounds dirty and Paganish!

That can't be right!

Oh well, I guess you are on your own.
