Sums it all up... That's like when people were trying to sell Gmail Invites for $10, at the time, I had 50+ Gmail invites!

Theres a sucker born every minute, and a lot of them have $$ to waste, so why let them go to waste ?

I believe he's probably making fun of a piece of toast with cheese that supposedly netted over $28,000 (US !) because the melted cheese vaguely resembled the Virgin Mary.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4034787.stm

Or maybe hes hoping to find someone equally stupid and get rich ? After all, America is *full* of people who will happily send $19.99 to Televangelists to offer up a prayer to their close personal friend god on their behalf.. PT Barnum and many others have made their living by appealing to the rich and stupid..

Then again, we spend thousands building machines only to smash them, so I guess I shouldnt be making too much noise about whats sane or not.. Wink At least we learn usefull engineering stuff along the way and get an adrenalin buzz out of it as well..

I wonder where they found the picture of Mary to compare with the toast.

It's only 400 US from robot market place so that's really not that much of a good deal

Around $550 if you buy one from the US plus about another $150 in postage for something that size and weight, getting them from the US isn't so cheap.

I'll just keep waiting till someone puts some Lemco or Perm motors on Ebay Cool
