This is certainly true, Gord, but not only is there no accounting for taste, I'll wager there's no accounting period, when it comes to how a Russian becomes a billionaire!

This refers to an image put up by KB more than a year ago (post # 22). The "cousins" image I had put up was taken down, but here's a link for the curious:

And just below KB's post #22 is my answer to Gord's lobster image (post # 28), but my entire post was taken down in that instance. To see an awesome pair of lobsters, though, go to the link Gord provided to my image in his post # 31.

Ah, the good old days . . .

Ever wonder where people find this stuff?

**knottybuoyz** · 07-08-2008, 05:01

This one certainly fits the category! It's actually a tri-maran so Kai Nui just luvs it!

**Kai Nui** · 07-08-2008, 10:38

Sorry Rick, no sails. I wouldn't know what to do with it

Do they have free shipping?

It's kinda like the roach motel. Treasures check in, but never check out.

How many categories of Oddities do you think there really are? I mean commercially traded of course. Not all oddities are worth money.
