      Yeah in a year you will be able to get a Furby, a complete set of Magic cards, and a Google IPO ticket for under a buck.

  4. $1.2 B to go to the No. 1 Internet search engine by scotay · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does that mean the search results will start to suck beacause the engine gets fat and lazy, sitting around all day smoking pot. I know I would if I had 1.2 billion dollars. Maybe they should put the engine on an allowance to keep it honest.

    This was the stock auction. The bankruptcy auction isn't for another few months, at least.
