This really is an only in America kind of story. Picked up on http://www.ananova.com earlier today it has been reported that two sisters are selling a cornflake on eBay.
Why? Well, it looks a lot like the state of Illinois. That sounds like madness in itself but the bidding has reached over £100K! For a cornflake!!
This is a copy of their eBay sales pitch:

So just how does the US election system work?
If you’re like many educated, (but, “I just didn’t want to have to ask”) people, you may have always wondered just how the US electoral system actually works.
Like all things American it seems to be far too much razzmatazz and far too little common sense. I mean why don’t they have one big Election Day like the UK or Australia, and why don’t the party’s choose their representatives?
It often seems more of a charade, a mere popularity contest between actors vying to create the next American Political dynasty.
