A man in Florida bought a biscuit jar on eBay (it cost $150). Here's where the online bazaar turns bizarre. The seller, a man with a familiar- sounding name from New Jersey, turned out to be the brother the buyer had never met. The buyer had been adopted as an infant and knew he had siblings out there somewhere, but he never imagined finding his brother through a biscuit jar (that's British for "cookie jar," by the way). The two men have traded e-mails and will try to get to know each other better.
