Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by
native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive
coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest
droppings.
Despite the closeness of the coffee's home on the islands of Sumatra,
Java and Sulawesi, Australia's first civet cat brew has only just gone
on sale in Queensland state, selling for A$50 a cup at the Heritage Tea
Rooms, west of Townsville.
"Everyone calls it cat poo coffee," cafe owner Michelle Sharpe told the
Australian Associated Press.
"People who willingly pay the $50 are uplifted by the thrill of the
experience," her husband Allan Sharpe said."It's as good as my private
life is bad.
This is the kind of coffee you renounce your religion and sell your
child for," one taster quoted by AAP said.

Oh say, why don't they just save some time and money and go to their
cat's litter box and use that? Makes about as much sense///people are so
stupid...to willingly drink something with civet poo in it! Of course,
amny people rub civet anal gland sewcretions on their bodies whgen it's
distilled into perfume as the oil carrier but at least it doens't go into
the digestive tract....ugh....wish I had a bridge to sell....
You do. Lots of them, in fact. Take your pick and name your price. I
have no doubt you'll have takers.

heck....who'd want the James River Bridge? It's about the ugliest bridge
around, breaks down all the time, and is in a constant state of being
painted...and they're thinking about making it a toll road (which I guess
it was when it was first built)
All excellent reason to tell you buyer why you're selling it.
Heck, people from this side never go to the Penninsula as it is (it's a
very weird environment on this side of the bridge) When we tell epeople we
go to Newport News to shop they look at us strange..they all stay on this
side and travel the extra 20 miles to go to Suffolk or Chesepeake! Heaven
help someone shosuld go across the bridge!
Sell! Sell now!
