Time to go to the store and buy a box of cornflakes  :D

Now that is a winning investment. What would the rate of return be on that?

I'm just simply amazed at the things people with either too much time or money (or both) will buy  ::)

But I'm still thinking about getting a box of cereal to see what gems I can find to sell on ebay lol   ;D

It is now at $200444. Isn't that around the amount that billionaire was getting from selling his Bear Stearns stock at $2 a share? Maybe he should invest in this flake also. LOL, I just realized the pun in that one. Here is another article, "Man invests remaining Bear Stearns assets in another flakey investment."

and the funny thing is.......now there's more than just a few flakes of Illinois up for bid.......AND they have bids!..... :o

This calls for serious thought people.....what do you have around your house that you can muster it up into looking like a person or a state or whatever and put it up for bid on ebay????  :D

Look to my coming, at first light, on the day of the Cub's mathematical elimination. At dawn, look to the NL Central.
