A Bible Sold for $94,000!

 As the title of the post states, yes, over in England a Bible was auctioned off for 59,000 pounds. I don't have a key for the symbol for pounds on here, or know the secret code to make it, but I will tell you, that is about $94,000 in our shitty U.S. currency.  This was not any bible mind you.  It once belonged to Elvis Presley.  It had been given to him on Christmas of 1957, by his aunt and uncle.
 If I had $94,000, I would never spend it on a bible, unless of course it actually told the truth.  But as we all know, the Bible is just hearsay from a bunch of people that hadn't even figured out the internet yet. 

What does make the book cool, is that Elvis used to write down thoughts and annotations in it.  I'm sure it had a lot of women's phone numbers in it too.  However, at this point they'd all be really old or dead, so that wouldn't really do anyone any good.

At the same auction, a pair of Presley's 1977 stained underwear was sold for 5,000 pounds.  That was at the time he was a fat guy on a lot of drugs.  I hear you can find cheaper used underwear on craigslist.
