Tee Hee. Poop.

This might be the only song out there where you can hear the Beatles sing the word "poop" (in the scatological sense):

Bad Boy:

It's a cover, so John gets a bit of a pass. I guess.

lyrics

There's Gold In Them There Pictures Of Them There Hills!

Rick Norsigian's hobby of picking through piles of unwanted items at garage sales in search of antiques has paid off for the Fresno, California, painter.

Two small boxes he bought 10 years ago for $45 -- negotiated down from $70 -- are now estimated to be worth at least $200 million, according to a Beverly Hills art appraiser.

Those boxes contained 65 glass negatives created by famed nature photographer Ansel Adams in the early period of his career. Experts believed the negatives were destroyed in a 1937 darkroom fire that destroyed 5,000 plates.

$200 million ?

Suck it, Antiques Roadshow.

The Haute Dog

Friday is National Hot Dog Day. And a New York City landmark restaurant, Serendipity 3, plans to celebrate by doing what many a baseball stadium has tried to do in the past: sell the world's most expensive hot dog.

The extravagant hot dog, dubbed The Serendipity Foot-Long Haute Dog, will sell for $69.

The Haute Dog will be topped with medallions of duck foie gras with black truffles, caramelized Vidalia onions, heirloom tomato ketchup and, of course, mustard (Dijon, with black truffles).

I don't like foie gras, ketchup or mustard. So, sadly, no $69 hot dog for me.

This would be the eatery's third Guinness World Record, joining the world's largest hot chocolate and the world's most expensive sundae: the $1,000 Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae.

The sundae offers dessert lovers three scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans, covered in 23-karat edible gold leafs and surrounded by a Grande Passion caviar, Amedei Porcelana chocolate, and other luxurious delicacies. It's served in a Baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18-karat-gold spoon.

I'd eat the hell out that sundae, though. If it didn't cost $1000, of course.
