Mussolini's Stolen Brain Offered On eBay

After Mussolini was executed, his body was strung up before being brought to the hospital for autopsy and eventually returned to the family members. So, when an eBay auction started for the brain and some blood samples of the deceased dictator, it was entirely possible that the remains (which started at around $22,000) were authentic. Fortunately, eBay has a policy of not allowing these sorts of things, so the auction was canceled a few hours in, before his granddaughter had even heard about the auction.

    "This is very serious, these are the kinds of things we have to guard against," the Right-wing politician and former showgirl said.

    That's a rare gem of a sentence.
