No Nintendo for the naughty [Associated Press] GoldenPalace.com has done it again. The online casino, which paid $28,000 for a partially eaten grilled cheese that supposedly bore an image of the Virgin Mary, has plunked down $5,300 for three now infamous Nintendo games. A man in Houston had put the would-be Christmas gifts on eBay -- because his children had been so naughty so close to crunch time. You could say this guy cashed the check that Santa wrote -- then he cashed the check GoldenPalace.com wrote. He says he plans to use the money to buy a heater for his church. Maybe he could buy one for his heart as well! The casino will donate the games to charity.
