If it's REALLY Oswald's coffin, why didn't the mothership take it to bury him back on Mars with Elvis?

Paris1127: I'd bid, but I'm afraid I'll be sniped at the last second...

Submit a magic bid...

Wrong_Intentions: I'm pretty sure he's still using it.

yeah, wtf? Are they going to put what's left of him in a pressboard box, then auction that too? shiat makes no sense

I heard there is an unknown bidder that is hiding behind a fence.

/grassy knoll

I just wish someone had linked to an article that explained how his coffin could be for sale.

"His body was exhumed on October 4, 1981, and was found to have suffered "extensive water damage," according to the auction house's description"

Damned fine writing there.

Over in three. Well done!

How does the lid open?

/back and to the left
//obligatory
///aisle seat

I bet the coffin contains Obama's real birth certificate.

I was going to come and ask how his coffin could be for sale, but I didn't want everybody to laugh at me because there was some obvious thing I missed. Coffin....dead body....coffin....dead guy....I don't get it.

FirstNationalBastard: Only one?

I thought you'd get three shots at it in 8 seconds.

Yeah, but one bid has to turn in midair to count.

Why would I want the coffin of a guy who got Jack'd off?

Audio analysis of the bids coming in over the open microphone are inconclusive.

/Too obscure?

I bid one ruby, Jack.

Nothing is obscure here. On another note, I've been to the 6th floor museum in Dallas and saw where he was shooting from. Wouldn't have been a difficult shot and I have no trouble believing he acted alone. Even if it was a conspiracy to kill the President, they wouldn't have planned a crossfire because they would have realized, like I did, that any marksman worth his salt would have been able to take out JFK from that window.

We're all counting on you?

I did it. I confess. I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

/I knew that a marine couldn't hit a target at 180 feet.
//a moving target
///three shots in eight seconds? Pshaw!

/Do I have to do everything around here!?

Paris1127: I'd bid, but I'm afraid I'll be sniped at the last second...

Truly magnificent.
Thank you for sending me to hell for laughing.

Perfect white elephant gift for the office party!

Isn't selling used coffins illegal ? Think I read that somewhere. It's too personal like buying used underwear.

This article in mind-blowing.

This article went through one ear and out the other.

/That's all I got.

When do the coffins the three guys on the grassy knoll got buried in go on auction?

FatherVic: /Do I have to do everything around here!?


I must've missed this one somehow. Fantastic.

I too believe he acted alone. However, I also believe that there was a conspiracy -- by the Kennedy family to conceal that fact that JFK had Addison's Disease. Addison's in crisis stage can result in confusion, psychosis, slurred speech, and loss of consciousness (among other symptoms) none of which are desirable in a president, especially with the nuclear war clock set at 11:59 pm! JFK was a very sick man and had the veil of secrecy about his disease been lifted, the American people would have realized that he never should have been president in the first place.

I also was hoping that we would get an explanation of what Robert and Edward did with their brother's brain, which was removed at autopsy and subsequently disappeared, but we will never find out the answer to that conspiracy as I suspect Teddy took the secret to his grave.

JFK survived

Back and to the left

HARTMAN: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumb asses knows? Private Cowboy?

COWBOY: Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!

HARTMAN: That's affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twelve people from a twenty-eight-story observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?

SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!

HARTMAN: That's right, and do you know how far away he was?

SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!

HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?

JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!

HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!

I have never heard an expert comment on my theory, but I think the DC gunman pulled off some better shots. I might be totally wrong though.

Have any of you compared the two?

If you are bidding just be sure you don't get sniped right as the auction ends.

Having stood in the School Book Depository, looking at the angle and distance to target Oswald had as someone who qualified Expert with an M-16 rifle...

...I laugh hysterically whenever someone suggests Oswald couldn't have done it. Scope? Hell, I make that shot with an iron sight at 250 feet.

Some people though don't want to believe that a whack job with the talent and at least adequate tools could kill what to them was the greatest American of their generation. He could, and he did. It is a cautionary tale of just how quickly a promising life can be snuffed out.

If anyone else is to be blamed for Kennedy's death, it is the Secret Service who should have had every floor of that building cleared. Gross negligence, whether it's in the military, other government service, or some other endeavor can and does get people dead.

But many options.

I've also been there. I have no opinion about whether he could make the shot or not since I am not a markswomen.

unclecrazy99: Isn't selling used coffins illegal ? Think I read that somewhere. It's too personal like buying used underwear.

They're selling the coffin out of a vending machine in Japan?

texdent: My great uncle signed the death certificate of Lee Harvey Oswald.

No farking way! That's pretty interesting. What did he have to say about it, especially the autopsy?

Wow--no disappointments from Fark tonight/today; all the Assasination buffs are out, and the comedy is golden--well done!

/realizes he read his first skeptic book (probably one of Mark Lane's) about 45 years ago---holy Jeez!

//still believes that some tantalizing bit of evidence/testimony has yet to pop up, though I do believe that a capable shooter from the TSD window could indeed have done it alone.
