Cheap At Half The Price

01Mar07

Much to everyone’s surprise (not really), the bottle of wine that Adolf Hitler allegedly presented to senior officers to mark his 54th birthday is almost certainly a fake. The undrinkable wine (because of it’s age, not political status) attracted bids from around the world but was eventually sold to an unsuspecting Nazi fanatic for $10,000.

Hitler expert Sir Ian Kershaw doubted the German leader ‘would have wanted his mugshot on a wine bottle’.

Unconfirmed reports insist it is infact a left-over ‘Allo ‘Allo! prop.

In unrelated news, I’m selling the Hanson t-shirt Jesus wore at The Last Supper for $25,000.

Bids close Tuesday. Or until James Cameron unearths it.
