Buy your own US Navy Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet for the low introductory price of $850,000.

Or perhaps a Huey for only $85,000?

No bids have been placed yet, they're ripe for the taking!

Heh, that's great.

Once I saw you could buy an Aircraft Carrier (no joke!) for the low low price of $7 million. Funny, it got taken off a couple of days later...

Once there was some islands for sale. I forgot where they were located, but they were only $13,000,000!

I've also see a Hinde helicopter (without military equipment)...

Hmm, whatever happened to cheques anyway? I mean, when was the last time you wrote one?

Has the quaint chequebook simply given way to today's proliferation of credit cards... or are there more sinister forces at work?

I got given a cheque book once.

Lost it.

Realised cheques are crap anway.

Like, why? Cheques are old hat. Screw having to wait four days for it to clear, people want to spend NOW! Cheques have no meaning in the modern credit card age.

But hey, if it's only cheques their taking for a helicopter...

;)

I don't know what cheques are, but I know about CHECKS. :P

Yeah, debit cards have quite nearly done away with checks and I haven't used a check since beginning of last year.

Interestingly enough, polarslam is not far off the mark - the FBI and US Navy are keeping tabs on this auction which, by the way, has now gone up to $2,000,000. (Still no takers, either.)

But if you don't have the money in your account now, yet will within four days, then cheques are indispensible.

So there.

I don't know... it kinda looks like Billy Idol to me....

I was in school today before class, and I picked up a Reader's Digest.

On one page, I found a list of unbeleivable things that were up on e-bay for auction sale, and the funniest thing is that people actually bid on them.
-a size 11 right foot work boot (someone stole the other one) $1.25
-some town in Bumfuk, Idaho (I can't remember the price, but it was something like $1,000,000)
-an imaginary girlfriend (she wants you to pay her to be your imaginary girlfriend and then wants you to break up with her) $81.00  (I saw a girl on "Unscrewed" on TechTV last night that does this... maybe it's the same girl.  She mentioned that she puts ads on e-bay.)

I'll see if I can swipe the mag next time I'm at school.

I just have to throw this in:
-A lonely size 11 left workboot... $1.25
-Imaginary Girlfriend... $81.00
-Bumfuck, Idaho... $1,000,000
-Knowing that some poor sap wants to spend his money on shit like this... priceless.
