The miracles of eBay ... if only Ahab had it this easy

An anonymous vendor in Minneapolis is offering to sell the soul of the London whale, who died last month while trapped in the Thames. 

 

 

 

'I was accompanying the poor whale in his last journey, and he handed his soul to me. He asked me to sell it, so I could invest the money raised in other bottlenosed whales,' said the seller, giving the whale the wrong gender. 

 

 

 

The soul seller describes the proud possession as '100 percent soul' and promises to ship it anywhere in the world.

'This soul will only increase in value in the future,' wrote the vendor.
