CLACTON, England, Sept. 0 (UPI) -- A British girl who put her grandmother up for auction on eBay said the 61-year-old fetched bids of $3,200 before the Web site pulled the listing.  Zoe Pemberton, 10, of Clacton, England, said she listed her grandmother, Marion Goodall, for auction on the site because she was "annoying," the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

I just put Barbara Boxer on e-bay.  The first bid of $2.98 just came in.  Come on, guys, let's stretch and double that.

SEPTEMBER 30,  2009

(AP) A Connecticut psychic who said she was assaulted in an attack she believed was arranged by rival psychics has been charged with lying about the incident. Greenwich police arrested 35-year-old Janet Lee of Norwalk on Saturday on charges including falsely reporting an incident.  Lee, who promotes herself the "foremost psychic in New England," called police on July 11 to report that a man had beaten her outside her Greenwich office. She said she believed rival psychics in town who had left her threatening phone messages were responsible, but she did not know their names.

How would they know if a psychic is lying?
