I've always wondered how many of those "food that looks like something" auctions are just clever money laundering schemes.

It's also now only a couple bids away from $100,000 with 8.5 hours left.

No jokes about her surname please

So I posted it elsewhere as "South Africa: Massive Sithole".

Not what I would call funny but I didn't know how strange McAfee's story was. It sounds like he preferred death to taxes.
