 Kevin McCallister is a eight-year-old boy, who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. While initially relishing time by himself, he is later greeted by two would-be burglars... Kevin eventually manages to outwit them with a series of booby traps... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...t=12901&page=4 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=792 |

So what does Elvis do for a crust?
In a sign that perhaps not ANYTHING will sell, Elvis' stained crusty underpants were passed in at auction in the UK. The current proud owner can take the framed glass encased crusty pair back home to once again grace the wall of his / her billiards room ... with who knows what other curious pieces of "öbject d'art".
The crusty "trophy" did attract bids of GBP 5,000, but failed to surpass the resrve of GBP 7.000. His annotated Bible though sold for a hefty price of GBP59,000 ... more than double the GBP 25,000 reserve price. The purchaser is a British based American. Quote:
And to get in early on any poor taste jokes: Q: What did Elvis do for a crust? A: Wore the same pair of briefs for a week? ... boom boom ... |

Corporal Light
The discovery was one for the pages of an archaeology classic, something with a title like “Gods, Graves and Scat.”
The sample of fossilized feces that was radiocarbon dated to 12,300 BC and contains preserved 14,000-year-old human protein and DNA. Some people, coming into new country long ago, stopped at a cave for years perhaps, or only a day’s rest. Time enough, in any event, for them to relieve themselves — you know, answer nature’s call, if they bothered with euphemism. The cave was their in-house outhouse. Exploring Paisley Caves in the Cascade Range of Oregon, archaeologists have found a scattering of human coprolites, or fossil feces. The specimens preserved 14,000-year-old human protein and DNA, which the discoverers said was the strongest evidence yet of the earliest people living in North America... http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/04/science/04fossil.html |

Elvisaurus
Cryolophosaurus (meaning "cold crest lizard") was a large theropod dinosaur, with a crest on its head that looked like a Spanish comb. Due to the resemblance of this feature to Elvis Presley's pompadour haircut from the 1950s, this dinosaur was at one point informally known as "Elvisaurus"...Although the evidence is rare, fossils reveal that there were dinosaurs in New Zealand. Possibly because it lacks the right conditions for fossilisation, only 200 t-rexs full skeletal structure have been found and fragments of bone and a few vertebrae have been found there. Marine fossils are more common than fossils of land animals in New Zealand because dead animals and plants are easily preserved in sand and mud. Therefore, some fossils of large marine reptiles are nearly complete, and so can be identified to species...Tuatara,("peaks on the back") the common (Māori) name for three species of reptile in the Sphenodon genus, is referred to as a "living dinosaur"...

Omega Auctions
Quote:
The bible, given to the singer on his first Christmas at his home in Graceland in 1957, was bought by an American man based in Britain, Omega Auctions said on its website. The religious book, used by Presley until his death on August 16, 1977, was expected to fetch around 25,000 pounds but went for more than double its value. But a pair of Presley's unwashed and soiled underpants, worn underneath his famous white jumpsuit during a 1977 concert, went unsoiled... Quote:
