 Granted, this is likely a hoax and nobody in their right mind will do this, or maybe it's yet another goofy publicity stunt, but moron #1 has has put a snowball up for auction on eBay and moron #2 had put a $20k bid on said snowball. Now, since moron #2 is from Canada, I can understand why he might be so interested in a texan snowball -- he likely doesn't get much of that stuff in his neck of the woods and one from Texas... well that's just a bonus.
Update: It seems the $20k Canadian bid was retracted and the item went for $92.00. Either way, the end is near. |

eBay item description:
All is evidently well in the wonderful world of eBay - a fact confirmed by the (quite literally) once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a Texas snowball.
Yes indeedy, for bids in excess of a very, very cool $20k, you can commemorate the historical meteorological events of Xmas 2004 which turned parts of the Lone Star State into a veritable winter wonderland. Read on:
This is a wonderful piece of history, a snowball has not been made in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. in over a hundred years, this I made in my front yard in Laguna Vista, TX (about 5 miles from South Padre). On December 25.2004. It has not snowed here since about 1889. A lot of people here never seen snow, it was an extraordinary event. If you are a science buff or just want part of history for many years you should bid now. The snowball is in great condition, very clean bright white. It's size is about 4" X 4" X 3" a baseball. Don't miss out bid now or wait a hundred years and make your own.
THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY THAT GOES WITH THIS SNOWBALL!!!. A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY FROM INDONESIA (MY WIFE YATI) HAD NEVER HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS, SHE MAYBE AT FAULT FOR THIS ONE, SHE PRAYED FOR IT AND A LOT OF HER PRAYS SEEMS TO BE ANSWERED. WELL I' AM WAITING FOR THE RIGHT LOTTO NUMBERS NOW.
