King Tutankhamun Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 There are so many random things that the ads say you can get on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I was scared... I'd rather buy Rigel-the-Lighthouse (bêta orionis) than a useless black hole. But I think my pocket would be too small for either, and my budget too small to buy any star, even the tinyest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 How stupid do you have to be to buy a black hole? Thats even stupider than the "Buy a square mile of the moon" scam they had a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 It was automatically generated, it found that black hole seemsed to be the keyword on the page so it decided to sell them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Surprisingly, I typed in that URL to find that the user who posted that article has the alias "cptmorgan". And I thought my alias was unique! Bah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 It was automatically generated, it found that black hole seemsed to be the keyword on the page so it decided to sell themYeah, I have a feeling eBay has mass-registered a Google ad for every possible word in the dictionary that could be a product or thing. (New meaning to the phrase "dictionary search"?)I've noticed some goofy things (albeit not as goofy as 'black hole'). Especially stuff with bad grammar: for example, a search for "Intel DVX2934A" might result in an ad saying "Buy Intel, Intel network on eBay!" (Yeah, I made that product number up...)

Lorian Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Heh, this was the reply to one of the comments near the bottom:"Seller Comment: Ahem, Due to the recent publicity a proffessor of quantum physics got in touch to have an inspection of both my therom and the machine. He has confirmed that my theory is fatally flawed, and in fact my machine is just a phone attached to an old computer and an eftpos machine. I am incredilly embarrassed and would like to apologise to everyone who took an interest. As such the Auction will be withdrawn today at 6pm. My sincere apoogies to all the genuine time travellers out there. Peace out !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
