LONDON - A toilet that belonged to late Beatle John Lennon fetched 9,500 pounds ($14,740) at auction on Saturday, around 10 times its estimate, the sale organizers said.
Lennon, who was murdered in New York in 1980, had the porcelain lavatory removed from Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, southern England, where he lived from 1969 to 1971, and replaced with a new one.
The builders who took away the white and blue lavatory were told to “put some flowers in it or something,” according to the auction catalog.
Builder John Hancock stored it in his shed for 40 years until he died recently and the lavatory was sent for sale, British media reports said.
The toilet was among Beatles memorabilia sold at auction as part of the Beatle week festival in Liverpool, the group’s native city in northwest England. The pre-auction estimate was 750 to 1,000 pounds.
Anne-Marie Trace, who works at the Beatles Shop in Liverpool which organized the sale, said the high price paid had taken the organizers by surprise.
“I think it’s the most unusual item we’ve ever had in our auction,” she told Reuters. The buyer was not identified.

According to reports, Melodi Dushane, 24, entered a Toledo McDonald’s drive-thru on Friday morning and ordered chicken nuggets. The attendant informed her that they were only serving breakfast at the time and had no nuggets available. That’s when Dushane punched her in the mouth. After a manager came to the window, Dushane began swinging at her, only to be pulled through the window by her hair by the manager. When she was released, she punched through the window.
Dushane now faces felony vandalism charges and was released from jail and is scheduled to be in court later this month. She was also ordered to stay away from that specific McDonald’s location.

Philadelphia sports fans are under fire once again, this time for a video taken at a Phillies game that shows a young child taking a swig of a beer. The child, who appears to be under five years old, is seen gulping from what looks to be a beer bottle. (AOL News)

Finally, a Barack Obama conspiracy theory for the rest of us! Everyone from Tea Partiers to hip hop message boards thinks Obama was an extra in the music video for Tag Team’s single “Whoomp (There It Is)”.
Before you do anything else, check out 1:01 of the music video for Tag Team’s 1993 smash hit “Whoomp (There It Is)”. A tipster sent in the video along with a note:
Barack [is] in the Tag Team “Whoomp there it is” video. Don’t believe me? Judge for yourself.
