War against Markets in Everything
Lindsay Lohan reportedly keeps her appendix in her freezer because she was so worried it would end up being sold on eBay she asked the hospital staff if she could take it home. Additionally, her friend Kimberly Stewart is trying to get her to auction it off for charity herself.
Here is (not much) more.

I save all my nail clippings for the same reason. And all my hair from haircuts.
Oh, and I never flush the toilet.
(Just kidding, in case it wasn't obvious.)

Thanks Tyler. There was nothing I could have done with that minute of my life that was more gratifying than reading about Lindsay's organ fetish. Perhaps I need a market to solve this issue?

Sadly, eBay does not allow the sale of human body parts or, ehm, effluvia.

Sadly, indeed. Friggin' pinkos.

To be serious for a moment, the idea that she might be considering selling the appendix can't be dismissed. How hard would it have been for her simply to burn it? Or run it through a garbage disposal? She's keeoing it for a reason, and I can't help but think...

It's there so that every time she gets the urge to actually eat something, she'll open her fridge, see her own appendix, and lose her appetite.

She could write a scholarly book, and add the appendix at the end.

Sort of off topic, but does anyone have a good "In Defense Of Halliburton" article?
I keep hearing how bad they are, but I've yet to even find a convincing "Why Halliburton Is An Evil Company" article either...

She should put it up on ebay as a charity auction, perhaps the money going to charity would outweigh their policy?
p.s. why did my last post end up in this thread? weird...
