eBay Alert: Washington Chicken Nugget Sells for $200

Wednesday April 9, 2008
Chicken Nugget

If I told you the man who just bought a chicken nugget that resembles George Washington is the same man who paid $1,350 for the Frosted Flake shaped like Illinois, would you be surprised?

That's right, Jon Wolf of Triviamania.com -- America's would-be eBay Barnum -- is expanding his wild memorabila collection. For $200 on eBay, he snatched up the fried chicken chunk, found in Washington's home state of Virginia, at the Carytown McDonald's in Richmond.

Wolf told me about his new find not long after Kenneth Wilder had emailed me about a rock shaped like Ohio, which I assume he'll part with for the right price. Ohio Rock

If it can be proven that the "Ohio" scrawled on the rock is a naturally occurring phenomena -- or the work of a extraterrestrial engraving service -- I'm definitely interested.
