		<description>A slightly better translated excerpt from the last article:

&lt;em&gt;Until friday more than 17,000 euro have been bid. The earnings &lt;/em&gt;(minus 2000 euro)&lt;/em&gt; should go to an association helping cancer-ill children.&lt;/em&gt;
...
&lt;em&gt;According to the seller the hackers who introduced themselves as &quot;the group&quot; explained they targeted this auction because of the large media attention.&lt;/em&gt;

German hackers again proved how uncool they are.</description>

		<description>So the government sells part of the national heritage for money and now is upset because prostitutes bought it?
At least the hookers are honest about themselves.</description>

		<description>hmmm.  &quot;we&quot; have the flag that was flying at one of chile&apos;s presidential buildings before the military coup.  it&apos;s the usual chilean flag plus the presidential seal and was taken down at the start of the coup for safe keeping, then got kind of passed around.  wonder if it&apos;s worth anything?!  i was thinking of putting it up as a wall hanging in my office...

at least, that&apos;s the story.  maybe someone was winding me up.</description>
