Check this out. I found this recently and thought it was amusing.
It's a piece of coal from the Titanic. It was supposed to have been recovered from the wreckage, or the "vicinity" of the wreckage.
It comes packaged in a slick looking plastic case with a printed "Certificate of Authenticity behind it. It's no longer available, but I think it was like $30.
Now look at the buyer questions below.
Someone asked: "How do you know its really from the Titanic ???"
Then "Bob z" responds: "Faith... pure faith."
The best answer of all came from "Ms. Susan Caughey" who chimed in with a bit of a philosophical perspective: " This is not an item that a die-hard skeptic would enjoy, but I like it. Many things in life require a suspension of disbelief. This is one of them."
