File this under 'A sucker is born every minute'

If you have more money than sense, here are some things you can do with the money:

For fifteen dollars you can buy a little less than a quart of muddy water to spray on your SUV so it looks like you've been out boony bouncing in the foothills.

For about fifteen thousand dollars (registration required to read article, try bugmenot.com) you can buy a bottle of 'celebrity air- and empty bottle "which may contain air molecules that came in direct contact with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt!!" Eww.
People with that much money and that little sense are dangerous. I consider the free market system an excellent way to protect us all by soon parting the proverbial fools from their money.

  1. There's an auction on eBay for the "air molecules". Opening bid: 1 cent. No takers.

    Here's a link to the thing I was thinking of:

    Molecules

    "Take a deep breath and let it out. You just exhaled some 10 sextillion air molecules into the room, many of which were, just moments ago, part of you.

    It has been calculated that it takes about 6 years for one of your breaths to scatter totally throughout the Earth's atmosphere, winding up in Tokyo, Calcutta, Buenos Aires, Paris.
    . . .
    This means that molecules from the dying breaths of Plato and Joan of Arc and John F. Kennedy are inside you."
