I'm dying to know what they do with those things. I'm not very suprised it was Golden Palace...

GoldenPalace.com?? get Ric Romero on the case!

Did the mexican fall and hit his head when he jumped the fence?

Meanwhile, the casino can add the oddity to its collection of strange items featured in a traveling show.

I'm betting going into the Golden Palace founder's office is a bit like going into ripleys.

Of course, when he dies, there will be an auction... alien-head duck X-rays and virgin-mary grilled cheese sammiches...

MMMMmmmmm, duck stuffed with Vulcan - yummmmm.

LincolnLogolas		2006-06-05 01:09:33 PM

...they also bought my friend's sonigram, because it looked like the Virgin Mary.

Pics???

Headline off by order of magnitude. TFA says $96000.

dannigirl		2006-06-05 01:09:59 PM

Well the headline says $9,600 and the story lede says $96,000 so which was it?

haemaker		2006-06-05 01:11:59 PM

I thought alien head would go for much more. Oh.. X-ray.

Somone photoshop Tom Cruise''s head onto that duck.

ipomoea		2006-06-05 01:18:29 PM

It was $9600: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9524777005

The proceeds were going to this bird rescue center, so I was hoping they'd get even more. Bummer.

Emnitikcits		2006-06-05 01:19:22 PM

They must have been desperate for some head.

You can't make this shiat up.

GoldenPhalus... phigures.

An X-ray image of with what looks like an alien's head inside a sick duck has been sold for $96,000.

Now there's something you don't read every day.

CanadaHauntsMe		2006-06-05 01:33:41 PM

Why can't I ever find something like this and sell it to GoldenPalace?

Prime-8		2006-06-05 01:36:19 PM

So WTF was the thing inside the duck?

DY357LX		2006-06-05 01:46:53 PM

I don't think they ever solved the mystery of that x-ray.

Spork Bunny		2006-06-05 01:48:06 PM

Prime-8: "So WTF was the thing inside the duck?"

The leading hypothesis is that it was actually a small weather balloon, filled with swamp gas. Or the duck had a bad case of swamp gas.

/Ducks spend a lot of their time in swamps you know.

GoodOmens		2006-06-05 01:51:06 PM

I think its neat golden palace does this.

They get advertisement while helping out decent causes. Beats paying a tv station for a commercial.

ImJustaTroll		2006-06-05 01:52:43 PM

When I'm ruler of earth I will make sure Golden Palace is shot right into the sun. I hate them sooo much.

char_boy		2006-06-05 01:57:22 PM

The x-ray reminded me of the old Butt Page, a Web toss back. They had some purported (apocryphal) x-rays showing things like Barbie dolls and artillery shells supposedly lodged in, uh, poop chutes. They also had a lot of protologists' stories. It was a million to one shot, doc, a million to one.

char_boy		2006-06-05 01:58:30 PM

Uh, proctologists.

Connery: What's the different between you and a mallard with a cold?
Trebek: What?
Connery: One's a sick duck and the other is... well, I forget but your MOTHER IS A WHORE!

Sure, make sense, goes as part of the William Shatner collection. After all he was The Big Giant Head, leader of the aliens on "Third Rock From The Sun".

magicinsomniac		2006-06-05 02:35:59 PM

I'm pretty sure at one point, GoldenPalace.com bought (via eBay) the naming rights to some womans kid. And named the kid GoldenPalaceDotcom. The article (pops)

brandied		2006-06-05 03:07:48 PM

Oh hell, the stupid duck ate an antena ball.

Doh!

Spork Bunny		2006-06-05 04:20:24 PM

It certainly ate something fowl,$9400 is a big BILL, not a poultry sum to pay for something like that. I hope the xray was not a finacial Birden. I am also glad the casino is not Ducking their social responsibility. People will now Flock to this casino.
