Gotta love us.

It's funny when Im told some local NZ news by an Austrian. One of our friends told us about the iceberg floating near NZ. So I semi-rushed to my computer to google more info about this. Apparently some funny guy placed the ice-berg on "trade me" and the current bid is just under $1,000,000 dollars.

Trade me has a history of running some funny auctions. The iceberg has some funny Q&A's. check it out yourself on www.trademe.co.nz

Here is a sample -
Q.How much does it weight? I may need to rent a trailer...
A.I dont want timewasters here mate. You dont use a trailer to remove an iceberg. Come on, you are being silly.

Q.Hi. Nice looking 'berg. What would you estimate the temperature to be? I'm after one that's quite cold.
A.I checked and can confirm 'Quite cold'. I dont know much about these technical things - but my mate reckons 'Freezing' if that means anything to you. He has had these before and knows his stuff.

Q.You can't seriously be selling an iceberg?!
A.Of course not. Im selling it in a silly way. Does your care giver let you use the computer alone?
