Well it’s a pretty Sunday morning here though got some feelings of little bit being homesick uhuhuhu… I missed Tacloban. One of my friend from Tacloban too sent me this… http://www.callezaragosa.com (please spare your time take a look at my very own beautiful Tacloban ) my own homeland and been a years never knew what’s new and been happening there.

Woke up from bed not on a happy mood, wondered why and don”t even know why. I sat for a while then ask myself “is there any problem with me?” but I didn’t find any reason to my questions though I should say and got an opinion like this..”why don’t I go for a shower and think about that later” he he. Good day every one out there!

The No-Tech Hacker

In Pictures: Hacking Without

Technology

Hackers have a lot of fancy names for the technical exploits they use to gain access to a company’s networks: cross-site scripting, buffer overflows or the particularly evil-sounding SQL injection, to name a few. But Johnny Long prefers a simpler entry point for data theft: the emergency exit door.

“By law, employees have to be able to leave a building without showing credentials,” Long says. “So the way out is often the easiest way in.”

Case in point: Tasked with stealing data from an ultra-secure building outfitted with proximity card readers, Long opted for an old-fashioned approach. Instead of looking for vulnerabilities in the company’s networks or trying to hack the card readers at the building’s entrances, he and another hacker shimmied a wet washcloth on a hanger through a thin gap in one of its exits. Flopping the washcloth around, they triggered a touch-sensitive metal plate that opened the door and gave them free roam of the building. “We defeated millions of dollars of security with a piece of wire and a washcloth,” Long recalls, gleefully.

In other instances, Long has joined employees on a smoke break, chatted with them casually, and then followed them into the building. Sometimes stealing data is as simple as wearing a convincing hard hat or walking onto a loading dock, before accessing an unsecured computer or photocopying a few sensitive documents and strolling out the front door.

In Pictures: Hacking Without Technology

Fortunately for his victims, the companies that Long invades are also his customers. As a penetration tester for Computer Sciences Corporation (nyse: CSC - news - people ) security team, Long is paid to probe weak points in a company’s information security. His job as a “white-hat” hacker is to think like the bad guys–the more evil genius he can summon up, the better.

And if tactics like tailgating an employee through a backdoor or picking a lock with a washcloth don’t seem like real hacking, Long would suggest fine-tuning the word’s definition. To bring that other side of hacking to the public’s attention, he wrote a manual cum manifesto titled No Tech Hacking, which was published this week. The book’s goal, aside from pumping Long’s already significant notoriety in the world of cyberpunks and script kiddies, is to show that hacking isn’t always the realm of high technology.

Instead, he argues, it’s still rooted in old-fashioned observation and resourcefulness. To obtain a corporate password, for instance, a hacker can pose as an employee and call a company’s help desk or simply look over an employee’s shoulder while he’s on his laptop at a local cafe. To access a network, Long will photograph an employee, fake his badge or even his uniform, and slip past the front door security to find an unguarded terminal.

That kind of no-tech hacking isn’t a new idea, but it’s one worth remembering, says Jeff Moss, the organizer of cyber-security conferences Black Hat and Defcon. “There’s a tendency in our industry to focus on the latest and most interesting attack,” he says. “But Johnny is trying to show that the simple security problems that were spotted a long time ago haven’t gone away, and the bad guys will use whatever’s available.”

That’s a lesson that the security industry should heed: The average cost of a data breach rose to more than $6.3 million last year, up from $4.8 million in 2006, according to research by the Ponemon Institute. And physical security played a growing role: Lost or stolen equipment accounted for about half of those breaches last year.

With those kinds of costs at stake, hiring hackers like Long isn’t cheap: For basic vulnerability assessment, CSC, which is based in El Segundo, Calif., charges a minimum of $35,000. For complete penetration testing, which often involves obtaining specific files to demonstrate a firm’s security flaws, the team can charge as much as $90,000.

But for the most in-depth hacking missions against well-protected companies, Long and the rest of CSC’s security team are also rewarded with the illicit thrill of intrusion. “When you get that James Bond feeling of espionage, it’s a huge adrenaline rush,” he says. Long admits that the night before a major case, his team often watches the geek thriller Sneakers. “Penetration tests that involve a human element are so much more exciting than sitting in front of a computer screen, poking through a company’s firewall.”

As a kid in suburban Maryland during the 1980s, Long’s hacking career began under less sensational circumstances. Surfing the pre-Web Internet, he browsed bulletin boards looking for pirated copies of video games. To pay for the growing long distance bills from his modem, he started charging his Web surfing to calling card numbers that he found on semi-legal sites. And when those phone-card sites started forcing users to pay for access, he found ways to circumvent the sites’ security measures.

Soon, the challenge of bypassing firewalls and accessing distant networks was more interesting than any video game. “I would be on my Commodore 64, talking to a Unix system somewhere far away,” Long says. “It was like traveling–the fascination of being in a place with a different culture and speaking a different language.”

When he graduated from high school, Long skipped college and got a job at a local university as a systems administrator. Before he was 20, he moved on to a major health insurance provider that was in the midst of bringing its systems onto the Internet. Long wrote up a report detailing all the company’s security vulnerabilities. It was ignored by his superiors. Feeling demoralized, he eventually left the company and landed at CSC’s offices in Falls Church, Va.

At CSC, Long found his niche. In 1998, for instance, he suggested a simple social engineering method to gain access to a company’s server that wasn’t attached to the Internet. Long tracked down the name of the company’s technical contact person on the Web, and made a phone call to its help desk pretending to be that person. The help desk’s staff switched on the server’s modem, and CSC’s team was inside. “Once I connected with the security team, I brought some of the perspective that the security community was just starting to get then, a street-level hacker mentality,” Long says.

From there, CSC began to experiment with the physical security hacks it now uses today, and Long began developing a set of techniques he calls “Google Hacking”: using simple search engine queries to find hackable vulnerabilities in Web sites. (See: ” Google: A Hacker’s Best Friend“) Today CSC has one of the security industry’s better-known penetration testing teams, and Long is a celebrity in hacker circles.

Since he first became a professional penetration tester, cyber-security has evolved dramatically, Long says. No Tech Hacking is partly about the latest social engineering methods used by a new generation of cyber-criminals. Instead of searching for holes in companies’ increasingly tight security perimeters, their attacks are about drawing the target out, bringing employees to a compromised Web site that infects their network, or convincing an administrator to give up his or her password in an e-mail.

But the other lesson of the book , Long says, is that some things haven’t changed. “No matter how savvy we think we are, the oldest attacks are still possible, and they’re still prevalent,” he says. “The smartest systems are still falling for simple tricks, and that’s what keeps us in business.”

10 Ways You can Improve Earth’s Health

10 Ways You Can Improve Earth’s Health

By LiveScience Staff

A sole plant grows out of a dry lake bed in Carpineni, Moldova, Tuesday, April 22, 2008. April 22 is being celebrated around the world as Earth Day. Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, has suffered droughts in four of the past five years and low rainfall over the past three years have led to severely diminished harvest in Moldova, which relies on agriculture for 70 percent of its GDP. (AP Photo/John McConnico)

- The scientific and political arguments surrounding the health of our planet can make the whole topic seem beyond the grasp of the individual. How fast is the climate changing? Exactly what effect to humans have? And what will the government do about it?

How we treat Earth also involves trillions of little decisions by billions of individuals.

That in mind, on this Earth Day, LiveScience presents 10 ideas for saving energy and otherwise cutting down on your impact on the planet. The list was compiled by the Earth Day Network organization and republished here with permission.

1. Change light bulbs

Highly efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last for years, use a quarter of the energy of regular bulbs and actually produce more light.

Look for the government’s ENERGY STAR label, which means the bulb has been tested for quality and efficiency. While each ENERGY STAR qualified bulb will cost more initially-anywhere from $3 to $9 a piece-remember that there are two price tags: what you pay at the register and what you pay in energy costs to over the bulb’s lifetime. So you may pay more up front, but you will actually save hundreds of dollars in your household budget over the long term because of their long life.

While CFLs were harder to find a few years ago, they’re now widely available and much more affordable. You’ll find them at major home improvement and hardware stores-even grocery and some convenience stores.

Here’s the impact. If every household in the U.S. replaced a burned-out bulb with an energy-efficient, ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent bulb, the cumulative effect is enormous. It would prevent more than 13 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere-which is like taking more than a million cars off the road for an entire year.

There are other, simple things with household lighting you can do to conserve: turn off unneeded lights, dim lights when you can and bring natural sunlight into your home when it is feasible.

But changing those old light bulbs and replacing them with ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescents that can last for a decade or more is by far the best thing you can do.

2. Drive differently, or drive a different vehicle

The sad truth is that your car emits as much carbon dioxide as your entire house. That’s the bad news. The good news is that anything you can do to improve the fuel efficiency of your car will have an enormous impact on climate change. In fact, experts say that paying attention to fuel efficiency in your car may be the single biggest thing you can do to prevent global warming

Buying a fuel-efficient car (like a hybrid) is wonderful. In fact, replacing your gas-guzzling car with a fuel-efficient one is by far the best thing you can do, out of all your choices. But not all of us can do that-at least, not right now. Carmakers haven’t sold enough hybrids in the U.S. yet to make them as affordable as they should be. That will change, but not for a few years.

So, in the interim, there are things you can do with the car you drive now to conserve energy and be more fuel-efficient.

Drive less. Every year, Americans as a whole drive more miles than they did the year before. Stop this trend, and we drive a stake in that trend. Telecommuting and public transportation are great options-once a week saves a ton of carbon dioxide a year-but even piling multiple errands into one trip helps. If you can walk instead of drive, even better.

Get your car tuned up. Just a simple tune-up often improves fuel efficiency by half. If 100,000 of us went out and got a tune up, we save 124,000 tons of carbon dioxide.

Slow down, don’t race your car’s engine, and watch your idling. All of these save on gas (saving you money) and have a big impact on burning gasoline.

Horribly inefficient SUVs, minivans and pickup trucks now make up more than half of the cars on American roads. The real tragedy is that automakers could double the current average fuel efficiency of SUVs if they wanted to, which would save 70 tons of carbon dioxide per car. The technology exists. Unfortunately, consumer demand does not.

3. Control your temperature

The bad news is that half of your household energy costs go towards just two things-heating and cooling. The good news is that means you have lots of room for improvement, and even small changes make dramatic improvements in household fuel efficiency.

Older heating and cooling systems are a third less efficient than the new systems. So replacing the old with the new is a wonderful idea, but not very practical for most of us. Things you can do right now to make sure you’re setting the right temperature in your house include:

Tune up your heating system. This one thing every couple of years can reduce your heating costs by 10 percent a year.

Clean vents, close unused vents, and change filters in the vents. Again, just these simple things will save you 10 percent.

Buy a programmable thermostat, which can regulate different temperatures at different times of the day. And if you have one, use it! Right now, three-quarters of people who have programmable thermostats don’t use them at all.

Add two degrees to the AC thermostat in summer, and two degrees in winter. If everyone did this, the cumulative impact is significant.

Make sure windows and doors are sealed. Again, this will dramatically improve your household fuel efficiency.

Of course, if you can stand it, by far the best approach is to avoid air conditioners at all. Ceiling fans, instead of AC, can reduce your cooling costs by more than half.

4. Tame the refrigerator monster

Did you know that your friendly refrigerator has a voracious energy appetite? It is, by far, the single biggest consumer of electricity in the average household, responsible for 10-15 percent of the electricity you use each month.

Older refrigerators, as a rule, are far less efficient than the newest ones-as much as 50 percent more efficient in many cases. But buying a brand-new, energy-efficient refrigerator is almost certainly not in the cards for most of us. Fortunately, other things will help.

Don’t set the thermostat too high. Even 1 degree will make a big difference.

If your refrigerator is near a heating vent, or always in the sun, then change the location, cover up the heat vent near it or drape the window.

Turn on your “energy saver” switch near the thermostat.

Clean the condenser coil. This one, very simple thing can improve the efficiency of your refrigerator by a third!

Get rid of your second refrigerator. If you don’t need it, don’t waste the energy.

Make sure the doors seal properly, and keep the cool in.

5. Twist some knobs

The other big users of energy in your household are your hot water heater, your washer and dryer, and your dishwasher. Each, in its own way, can be inefficient. Here are some things to try:

Either turn the hot water heater down a couple of degrees, or turn on the “energy conservation” setting.

Buy insulation for your hot water heater at a local store and insulate the pipes as well.

Install a timer on your water heater to turn off at night and just before you wake up in the morning.

When possible, wash a few dishes by hand. Over time, that will save a few loads in the dishwasher, conserving energy.

Don’t pre-rinse dishes. Today’s detergents are powerful enough to do the job.

Wait until you have a full load to run the dishwasher.

Wash clothes in warm water, not hot. The clothes will be just as clean, and you’ll cut energy use by 50 percent.

Don’t over-dry your clothes. That will save 15 percent.

6. Plant smartly

While it is true that planting more trees will help in the short term because they essentially soak up carbon, they also release carbon dioxide when they die. So it just postpones the problem. But there are other reasons to plant trees-as wind breaks to save energy, and as shade to lower cooling costs. And even the short-term help while we get our act together is a good thing.

As for plants, do everything you can in your yard and garden to create ways in which plants use less water. Choose hardier plants, plant things in groups that need more water and put in mulch to help keep moisture in. When you mow your grass, make sure you do it smartly-with sharp blades, and only when the grass needs cutting. Finally, make sure you water your lawn sparingly. All of these will conserve energy.

7. Invest in green energy

Imagine if we ran out of fossil fuels tomorrow, what would we do? Well, we’d get our electricity from renewable sources-solar panels, geothermal and wind power sources. Many utilities now give consumers the option to buy “green power.” Ask for it!

Learn the truth about nuclear power and natural gas as viable “green” options. They aren’t. Radioactive waste will be a problem for tens of thousands of years into the future, and natural gas kicks out almost as much carbon dioxide as coal and oil. Natural gas can help us make a transition, but it isn’t the solution.

Finally, if you invest, invest in green stocks and renewable energy companies through socially responsible funds. They perform just as well (if not better) than all of the unfiltered funds.

8. Go organic

Even with our vast reservoir of scientific knowledge about farming, most American farmers still spray a billion pounds of pesticides to protect crops each year.

Now here’s the kicker: when chemical pesticides are used to kill pests, they also kill off microorganisms that keep carbon contained in the soil. When the microorganisms are gone, the carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. And when those organisms are gone, the soil is no longer naturally fertile and chemical fertilizers become a necessity, not a luxury.

But besides going organic-thereby saving the carbon release from soil-there are other simple things you can do with food that will also make a difference:

Eat locally grown food. If the food doesn’t have to travel far, there’s less carbon dioxide from the trucks that ship it.

Eat fruits and vegetables in season. Again, that saves the enormous transportation costs.

Plant your own vegetable garden. It’s not as hard as you might think.

9. Buy recycled

This may sound simple, but it takes less energy to manufacture a recycled product than a brand new one. So if you and every other consumer buy recycled, you’ll help create a market, and conserve energy along the way.

Because many manufacturers don’t go out of their way to tout their recycled products, you should know that aluminum and tin cans, glass containers, and pulp cardboard have a fair amount of recycled content. So buy away!

Recycled is often considerably cheaper than non-recycled, so it’s cost-effective as well as conservation-minded. For instance, recycled paper can be as much as a third cheaper than non-recycled paper.

Finally, before you buy, check to see if the product or its packaging can be recycled. The recyclable logo (three arrows forming a triangle) is fairly common now.

10. Be a minimalist

We know it’s difficult, but in today’s consumer economy, an easy way to conserve energy is to simply use-and buy-less. Every time you buy something, energy has gone into getting that product to you. So the less you buy, the more you save energy-wise. It’s a simple equation.

This last item on our Top Ten list may, in fact, be the single biggest way to make a dent in the global warming problem. Again, we know it sounds obvious, but buying less things-some of which you just don’t need-changes the energy equation across the board, on every single consumer product. If everyone used less, the impact would be large indeed.

So how about some specific things? Here are a few:

Buy in bulk. In short, bulk items use less packaging, which translates into less energy.

Buy one of something, not 21 of something. You don’t need 21 pairs of shoes, if one pair works just as well.

Go through your closet. Donate or recycle what you really don’t need, then make a pledge not to replace everything you just got rid of.

Buy quality products that will last longer. Over time, you’ll obviously buy fewer products that way.

Be creative in what you use for work, play and leisure. You don’t always have to buy new products for activities. Re-use in creative ways.

The 25 Most Disturbing Sex Toys

article image


Hedonism got way out of a hand when the internet came along and the sex toy market exploded like, well, a bukkake video. Where once it was simple shoulder massagers and turkey basters that had to be adapted to nefarious purposes, nowadays anything you can think of (and probably a few dozen things you could never think of) are out there to give some lonely shut-in the pleasure they can’t get from molesting a damp slice of bread. Things like these …

#25.
Pig Tail Butt Plug

This thing actually exists and as such, we feel soiled. And at most, 5 percent turned on, but that’s pushing it.

Fun Website Quote:

“Make ‘em squeal loud and hard with their new black pig tail butt plug! It doesn’t get much more humiliating than this.”

#24.
Area 51 Love Doll

The inflatable doll market is saturated with all manner of nearly identical, buoyant and boring rubbery women. However, every so often a visionary appears to make a new and exciting love doll, the kind that renews our passion for the loneliest, most pathetic form of self gratification known to man.

Fun Website Quote:

“Its pussy-shaped mouth, 3 supple breasts, suction cup fingers and ass-shaped ears make it the kinkiest love slave in the galaxy.”

#23.
Hooded Spandex Full Body Binder Sack

We’re not saying we know everything there is to know about sex, though we have spent a lot of time, uh, reading about it. But in none of our experience have we happened upon a case when bagging someone up like a Christmas tree on its way to the dump was a way to initiate coitus.

Fun Website Quote:

“This total body sack is so comfortable, I could spend an entire night in it.”

#22.
Rubber Gates of Hell

What man isn’t convinced that only the portal to the underworld itself (in this case, fabricated from rubber) can hold back his manhood? Probably quite a few men aren’t convinced of that, actually. But for the rest, thankfully, the Rubber Gates of Hell penis harness was created. The exact purpose of this device was lost with its creator, Dr. Arnold Crazy-Fuck, but the thrill of rubber rings and little metal rivets on your junk lives on!

Fun Website Quote:

“Corral your stallion with these slightly stretchy rings designed to please and tease.”

#21.
Baby Jesus Butt Plug

This was obviously made to be sensationalistic, probably by someone thinking a massive protest would rev up sales. Or, they were trying to make some kind of deeply personal statement about the flaws of organized religion. But either way, it’s a Baby Jesus butt plug.

Fun Website Quote:

“Use him as the ultimate pacifier or make Baby Jesus the centerpiece of your magnificent Dildo Creche.”

#20.
Houdini Locking Steel Cock Chastity

We’re pretty certain neither Houdini nor his estate have anything to do with this. While the great escape artist was known for being able to free himself from some pretty tight squeezes, the odds are his wang didn’t have its on road show where it did the same thing.

Nonetheless this product exists, apparently for the sole purpose of slapping what appears to be roughly 10 pounds of leftover steel plumbing bits to your unit, just so you can’t fiddle with it.

Fun Website Quote:

“The tubular steel design makes it impossible to masturbate with this in place and the ratcheting cuff makes sure it stays put until the keymaster is in the mood to release you.”

#19.
The Perfect Pair Breast Enhancers

Breast enhancement is nothing new in our world, but if you look closely at this picture using your keen detective skills, you may notice something is amiss. Indeed, these appear to be some sort of strap-on boobies for men. Because what’s the fun of putting on grandma’s support hose and her best Sunday dress if you don’t have the jugs to match?

Fun Website Quote:

“Upright and firm, you can squeeze them and feel them–they feel real!”

#18.
The Cone

There was a scene in Billy Madison when Adam Sandler is talking to a kid when he first gets to high school and the kid says “I was a loser in denial too. Until the lacrosse team stuck a parking cone up my ass.” Remember that? So did the designers of this toy. But unlike you, they thought it was an awesome idea.

Fun Website Quote:

“The funky, contemporary style means it doesn’t need to be hidden away in the bedroom drawer.”

#17.
Anal Speculum

Sex toys are often sold under the guise of bringing couples together and based on experiences we’ve repressed from summer camp in our teen years, we feel confident saying that few things get you closer to another human than an anal speculum.

Fun Website Quote:

“Perfect for … medical/clinic scenes for the sadistic proctologist.”

#16.
Orca

Sometimes you get to the point where the standard human dong just doesn’t do it for you, no matter how unrealistic the proportions. For those people, the caring deviants in the fake dong industry put their skills to work in making a dildo modeled after the junk of an orca whale.

An orca whale.

Fun Website Quote:

“it is over 15 (inches) without the base”

#15.
The Hot Seat Inflatable Cushion Vibe

Did you happen to have a Space Hopper when you were a kid? And were you hoping someone could make your childhood memories of that toy disturbed and traumatic? Today is your lucky day.

This delightful little inflatable foot stool is designed with a flat bottom, so no more falling down and breaking bones then having to call the EMTs and explain you were just dusting when you slipped and somehow got this jammed in your nether regions.

Fun Website Quote:

“… try controlling your wild, bucking passion!”

#14.
Rubber Fisting Mitten

As best we can tell, this must be some kind of boxing glove (they must call it “fisting” in Europe). But why would this be in a catalog of sex toys? And why does the “mitten” go all the way up to her shoulder-OH SHIT.

Fun Website Quote:

“Use plenty of latex safe silicone lubricant when using this and don’t forget to use some to shine your fisting glove like I have here.”

    10 Most Eccentric Items Ever Auctioned

    This Is Not Right: The 10 Most Eccentric Items Ever Auctioned Online

    You’ve heard the stories of weird and wacky things sold on the internet, everyone has. Here are the top 10 weirdest things sold on the internet ever.

    These crazy ten things that were either put up for sale or sold will blow you away and will leave you wide eyed and astonished. The following ten objects are in no specific order and are all considered to be pretty weird.

    1. A Serial Killer’s Fingernails

      One of the weirdest things ever sold was a serial killer’s cut fingernails. In 1979, two men named Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris rode through southern California on a killing spree that resulted in at least five victims.

      Years later Roy Norris, the man in the mug shot above had his fingernail shavings that had been taped to the back of a Christmas card sold on the net. His fingernails only sold for $9.99 but still stand as one of the scariest and weirdest things ever sold on the internet.

    2. A Person’s Soul






      In late 2007, an American man tried to sell his soul for $1 million dollars on the net. He said that the reason for selling his soul was to raise money for the Christmas season. He also said that the proud owner would be allowed to take the soul home in a glass jar along with a contract relinquishing ownership. The image above is a picture of the man who actually looks a little bit scary.

      The following is a quote that the man had said about his soul,” I’m not really using it lately - and selling it on the internet is better than letting the Devil have it.” The soul never sold although it doesn’t appear to be still up for grabs. FYI: In the past somebody’s soul was successfully sold for $400.

    3. A Liver

      Another crazy item that was put up for sale on the net was someone’s liver, which is the body part in the picture above. A guy from Florida tried to sell part of his liver for a possible organ transplant. The price for his liver reached $5.7 million dollars before being eventually pulled from the website it was being sold on. It was removed because it is illegal to sell body parts over the internet.

    4. Haunted Rubber Ducky

      Another very odd item sold on the internet was a haunted rubber ducky. In 2004, a man sold a so-called haunted rubber ducky, resembling the one above. He said his one and a half year old son had been telling weird and scary stories about fights that he and the duck had had. Also he said that his child had been bitten by the duck, making the child mean and vicious, and causing him to throw the duck across the room. After only 7 days on the site the rubber duck sold for the price of $107.50.

    5. Jesus Toast

      The seller of the product in the picture above had accidentally burnt his toast in a toaster. Before throwing the piece of toast away, he suddenly noticed the face of Jesus on his toast as if by some type of miracle. He put the odd piece of toast up for auction with the starting bid of $.99, although this piece of toast never ended up selling.

    6. Justin Timberlake’s French Toast

      In March 2000, a leftover piece of French toast, half-eaten Justin Timberlake of N*SYNC was sold on a website. The entire group of N*SYNC was on the Z-Morning Zoo, some sort of TV show, on March 9th. On the show, Justin only ate one bite of his French toast! The seller said that the buyer would get Justin’s half-eaten French toast, the fork he used, and the plate…complete with extra syrup! After a total of 40 bids and not even two days on the internet, the French toast was sold for a total of $3,154 dollars.

    7. Rights to Name a Woman’s Baby

      In April 2005, a 33 year old woman named Melissa Heuschkel auctioned the rights to name her baby on the internet. After not being able to decide what to name her fourth child, Melissa decided to turn to an online bidding site. The rights for naming her child sold for a whopping $15,100 dollars. The online casino site named GoldenPalace.com bought the right of naming her baby. The casino website decided to name the child GoldenPalace.com. The image above is a picture of newly born GoldenPalace.com. Melissa said that the money received would go towards caring needs and toys for the new born baby.

    8. Imaginary Friend

      Another odd thing sold on the net was a guy’s imaginary friend named Jon Malipieman. The image above is a picture of this imaginary friend Jon Malipieman, and as you can see he is imaginary. The man that sold Jon lived in the UK and said that he was selling Jon because he felt like he had grown out of him.

      In the listings for the product the seller stated the following: “My imaginary friend Jon Malipieman is getting too old for me now. I am now 27 and I feel I am growing out of him. He is very friendly. Along with him, I will send you what he likes and dislikes along with his favorite things to do and his personal self portrait.” His self portrait is the picture you see above. Amazingly Jon Malipieman got 31 bids and ended up selling for over $3,000 dollars. Now that is Wacky.
