We raffled off an artifact from the Andrea Doria as part of a charity fundraiser a few years ago. Wonder how much this little gem could have brought in...

N.J. divers find Andrea Doria bell at famous wreck site

Some say the glass is half full, some say the glass is half empty. I say “Are you gonna drink that?”

That is amazing. Divers have been searching for it for decades. It's one of the most prized possessions you can pull from a wreck.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least we have each other

OOOH! Carl Bayer of Hillsborough.. he's from my home town! neat!

A woman is in a terrible accident, and she needs to recieve a brain transplant. The doctor tells her, "Well, a man's brain costs $900,000 dollars and a woman's costs $100,000." She is extremely offended and asks why. The doctor smiles and says, "That's not sexism, it's standard pricing procedure. We have to mark the women's brains down because they've been used."
