Man questioned after trying to sell Saddam's butt

And now for something funnier than the horror stories that are usually posted here.

Remember those bronze Saddam statues that were knocked over by the Iraqis? Some guy stole a chunk of ass from a statue and tried to sell it, but was stopped by authorities.

Who the hell would pay £250,000 for a dead dictator's derrière? The guy has to be a total ass to even think a sane person would want this.

He wanted to sell it for 250,000 Dollars?! Dude, bring the actual Buttocks of Assad or Kim-very-Ill and we´re talking, but just the Asshole of a bronze Statue...

That has got to be the first time that emoticon has ever been used on this forum... and actually been somewhat relevant.   

Also, people want stupid things... like Michael Jackson's drawers... so this isn't all that unusual.
