   Hey everyone,

   In case those of you outside have missed it, check
   out the results of the Great Millennium Dome Auction:

   http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4143533,00.html

   In this case, the centerpiece is a 6-plus-foot model hamster,
   with a wedge of cheese.  (Do hamsters eat cheese?  Hm.)
   Unfortunately I was unable to find any photos of the happy
   couple (Man and Monster-Mouse) but perhaps I can scan one
   in one of these days.  The pictures add a great deal to
   the surreal nature of the thing.

   As the Evening Standard put it:  'The largest car boot
   sale in history.'  Yes, Virginia, there *are* people who
   want to spend £3000 for a large triangular rodent.

   On the positive side, a model of a pubic louse got £100.
   It's nice to see people taking an interest in science.

   best

   Lindsay

   ObMeat: "Why are they called 'hamsters?' They taste more
            like chicken...chickensters?"
