Word of the Week

Some time ago, I read a news about a man who put his life up for sale on eBay.
“An eccentric millionaire has put his entire life up for sale on the Internet -- including his title of Lord of the Manor of Warleigh -- in the hope of converting his assets into cash.” (The Liberty Times 自由時報, 2008/8/18)
Well, there is nothing new under the sun, right?
