You have too much time on your hands if you can find articles like that!
Very funny though, I wonder if he has sold the item???

It's on the front page

Ebay pulled the auction, they're not keen on fun...

I'm going to have to start reading the Register more often!!

Ebay can be a bit boring, they don't let you sell anything interesting. I mean, what am I meant to do with any small children and animals people leave behind at the surgery. Lost property is getting over-run with kids now

EDIT - I've just had a look on The Register and there is some good stuff. I signed up for the personalised version at £19.99 a month, a bargain. Not sure about Bush's third term as President, but weird things do happen. Condoleeza (?) Rice signed for Blackburn Rovers yesterday

Well there's quite a few stories today that have heavy links with the date...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/01/china_buys_google/ 

For example.

The Reg is normally pretty amusing. It has it in for wikipedia though which I find a bit strange.

A recent study showed that Wikipedia is as inaccurate as the Encyclopedia Brittanica, who are now suing. Personally, I think the Wikipedia is a good idea that just needs a little tweaking. Perhaps they could also be bought by the Chinese.

The Shania Twain guiding a drunk driver by telepathy story is quite funny until you realise that it isn't an April Fool.
