Belgium up for sale on eBay I was within a whisker of owning my own country 
(from ananova.com) Internet auction site eBay has removed an unusual lot - the country of Belgium. Bidding had reached 10 million euro before eBay withdrew the spoof sale, reports GVA. It was put up for sale by former journalist Gerrit Six who wanted to protest that Belgium still had no government, 100 days after its elections. The advert said: "Belgium a kingdom in three parts. Possible to buy it as a whole, but not advisable. "Possible the three parts separately but beware of the public debt of 300 million euro." Bidding started at one euro and reached 10 million euro after 26 bids before eBay removed it from the site. Peter Burin, a spokesman for eBay said: "We can't allow bidding on something virtual or unrealistic. People must be able to buy and sell on eBay in a neutral way." | |

Today's special offers:
The whole "Moose Eating A Lollipop" combo package with Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. You can use it as a fridge. Australia has been price-reduced ever since Ocean moved there, but now it's cheaper than ever thanks to selling out its values to the US. Don't miss! Canada. Just shake it a bit so that the dwellers along the southern border fall off, and then you have yourself a prime empty lot, perfect for bus parking or something similar. | |

Australia ... that's where they put all the Englishmen that didn't qualify for the death sentence ... 
Canada ... first thing would be to deport Celine Dion ... Australia is an option... | |
