Someone is trying to make a few million dollars on Ebay by selling the shirt JFK allegedly wore on inauguration day. The shirt comes with a Letter of Authenticity (which is mere paper) and a provenance. Offhand, I can think of a few million reasons why someone might want to fake up a provenance. Such things have happened before.
Amusingly, the company running the auction is called Kompolt, which is very close to the word "complot." Look it up!

Joe, it appears to be for real, and legit!
They've got a pretty good history of high-dollar auctions.

Really? Because I happen to have an ACTUAL CONDOM used during an encounter with Marilyn...

The above story is one of almost 10,000 results offered on an "Alltheweb" search. With bids starting at over $2 million, I doubt they are going to attract a stream of bids from suckers. I agree, it looks legit. Either way, no worries about me getting ripped off on this one.
About that condom - how much?
We could extract DNA from the condom and use it to create a clone of JFK !
Well, er, actually, I never specified that this was JFK's condom...just that there was a girl named Marilyn involved...
Incidentally, that reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: Two five-year-olds are talking. One says: "I found a condom on the veranda." They other one says: "What's a veranda?"
