Money For Old Rope
A shipwreck museum in Cornwall us selling its collection. A piece of rope from the Tudor warship Mary Rose is expected to fetch up to £10,000 at auction and a lump of coal from Titanic £600.
Are you a collector - and would you pay high prices to own such artefacts?

No, the 'piece of art' is a ripe banana duct taped to a wall! Of course it's not the original banana - that was eaten. And the winner of the auction will get a brand new piece of duct tape AND a fresh ripe banana.
And possibly a one-way ticket to the nuthouse.
