One good reason why procrastination is bad and must be stopped


(…just as soon as I get around to it. BOOM TISH.)

Meandering aimlessly around the internet at work as I am wont to do, I accidentally toppled into this website and spent a good 18 minutes there pondering its many, many mysteries, including (but not limited to):

1. Whose “lifetime” is it “the opportunity of”? Some kind of celebrity taxidermist? A billionaire drag queen? And how can I meet this person?

2. What “portion” of the proceeds will be donated to charities? Because this could significantly influence my decision to bid.

3. Could this be 2007’s most popular show bag? A Bic lighter! A half-drunk can of Red Bull! A crack pipe (not pictured)! A jarful of hair! Better crank up that production line now. There’s a Paula Abdul product in the pipeline, too.

4. How proud must Tim Berners-Lee feel right now?

5. “ANY HAIR FOR SALE ON E-BAY IS A SCAM, PURE AND SIMPLE.” So true, so true. UNLESS…?

Bets on who buys it? Michael Jackson’s busy, so I’m going for Nicolas Cage, with some publicity hungry “performance artist” a close second.
