What THE...?!
An enterprising Australian is selling the word "the," written on a piece of scrap paper, on eBay.
And if you think there would be no market for such an item, then think again.
Already offers are close to the $100 mark and there are still three days of bidding left.
Seller "sweatyman" says: "I am selling the word 'The.'
ebayBidding has already neared $100 for the word “the.”
"Handwritten with blue ballpoint pen, on a torn piece of Reflex A4 paper, this versatile word can be used in literally thousands of sentences. For example: 'The dogs have escaped again'; 'I will buy some meat from the local deli.'; What's the time?'"
Sweatyman adds the word is "ideal for any situation."
Bidding began around 90 cents.
