John Lennon's Toilet Sells for $14,700

An anonymous Beatles fan shelled out $14,740 at auction to buy a porcelain toilet owned by John Lennon between 1969 and 1971. "I think it's the most unusual item we've ever had in our auction," the auctioneer said of the commode, which went for 10 times more than its pre-auction estimate. (Reuters)

9. BTW, I got a sliver of the bullet that killed Lennon on sale at E-Bay

and a splinter from the cross where Moses was crucified.

Act now, supplies are limited.
