Monday's Quote of the Day
"Pick up in person only" - auction details for baby listed on eBay.
Maybe it seemed funny at the time, but when the authorities in Memmingen, Germany swooped on the home of parents who had listed their baby for sale on eBay, the humour must have very quickly gone sour. The "too loud" seven-month-old was offered for sale for one euro (about 80p) but several users raised the alarm fearing a child-smuggling racket. It has now been taken into care. "It was only a joke," says the boy's mother, Tanja, 23. "I just wanted to see if someone would make an offer. They've taken my son and I've got to take psychiatric tests next week."
