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.

Maybe he could buy one for his heart as well! The casino will donate the games to charity.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
