  • It would be cheaper to just buy an atlas.

    Bidding for a cornflake resembling the US state of Illinois has reached more than £100,000 on eBay.

    Two sisters listed 'The Great Illinois Corn Flake' on the auction site, promising it had undergone no cosmetic alterations.
    Emily McIntire, a 15-year-old in high school from Chesapeake, Virginia, said she was grabbing fistfuls of cereal on her way to class when she found the flake.
    "It was almost to my mouth, it didn't look like Illinois at first because it was held the wrong way," she said.
    But then she noticed the resemblance and said: "Oh my goodness, it's Illinois."
    Her 23-year-old sister, Melissa, said their parents suggested selling it for fun. They're offering free shipping, providing the buyer is in Illinois.
    "At the moment it's residing in a fine jewellery box with a lot of cotton wrapped around it to keep it safe," said Melissa.
    The McIntire sisters say they've decided to use the proceeds from the eBay sale to buy more boxes of Frosted Flakes.
    "We've got to replace the one we've already sold," Melissa said. "We like cereal."

  • Saving the green planet again.

    Last night at my friend's house we watched a very strange Korean film called 'Save The Green Planet'. I first saw this film online last year and really enjoyed it, and so when I came across it again I sent my friend the link.

    Two things I can remember him commenting about;
    1…The main female character is an obese tightrope-walking dwarf
    2…In one scene a retired police office is typing with a mackerel.

  • On the Buses.

    Yesterday I went to the cemetery, and then to my friend's house in the evening. Although it was a Sunday service I seemed to spent less time than usual waiting for buses than I normally do - just lucky timing I suppose.
