Mummy Auction on eBay

Here’s my question … exactly what category was the mummy advertised in?  And where did she get it?  We aren’t talking about an Egyptian mummy, BTW.

The St. Clair County medical examiner’s office confiscated the mummified remains Tuesday from the home of Lynn Sterling.

Sterling, 45, told police she got the remains from a friend who works in demolition and said he found them in a Detroit school he helped tear down nearly 30 years ago, police said. She said she had contacted an attorney before posting the remains for sale.  Source: Yahoo! News

We Say: She contacted an attorney before posting?  He must not have read the eBay policy about selling human remains.  Apparently someone named “Satan’s Child” wanted it, though, as that user bid $500 before the auction was pulled.
