Are you an unhinged billionaire? Are you a sucker for impulse buys? Do you sit around wondering if the fellow née Nicolas Kim Coppola is an immortal Confederate soldier who feasts on human blood? Then have I got an eBay purchase for you, pilgrim!

Behold this recent auction titled "Nicolas Cage is a Vampire / Photo from 1870 / Tennessee":

Hardly a possibility....but then, if we believe in the Bible we're all distantly related to each other, anyhow.

The Civil War has some strange bedfellows....

I’m a Canadian, and even I don’t buy that load of whatever you want to call it. It was a war of northern aggression and washington wanting control, slavery was what the public was told.

The bedfellow on the left looks like Conan O’Brien.

Perhaps Nicholas Cage’s status as a supernatural being explains how he keeps getting movie roles despite an obvious and complete lack of any discernible talent.

And yes, that “Superman” photo is the gayest thing I’ve ever seen.

Could be??

Really? Just from out of nowhere the North attacked the South?

For no reason. Slavery wasn’t an issue. Just a facade.

That makes so much more sense. Thats easy history. Thanks.

"That picture is photoshopped. The face is looking straight on and the head to the right."

He could be horribly deformed from a tragic buggy accident, but I think you're right.

The idiocy never ends.... =.=

I noticed that the face was askew on an earlier thread. But for those of you that don’t know this yet...this comes from a collection that houses photos taken of the dead. It seems this was very popular back then.

It is possible this guy was dead.

Saw this the other day. My question to every one is this: How did he come back as a little boy in the 20th century. We have all seen him in his early movies so we know he was a boy then. And he is aging up as anyone can see in his latest photos and pictures. Vamps don’t age, so unless he has learned a trick where he can vary his age at will,I am going to have to say, no, he is no vampire or any other type of immortal. Just a little humor. This guy sure looks like him though, I wonder if he is a distant relative?

that the South had started.

Excuse me, the South didn't start the war. True, they fired on Ft. Sumter but Lincoln refused to move troops off of confederate soil. Lincoln wanted war and he pushed the South until he got it. Lincoln holds sole blame for the Civil War. Had he not pushed and allowed the confederate states to secede peacefully there would have been no war. He refused to recognize the rights of the states to leave the Union and used force to bring them back. He was an a**hat who couldn't stand for the Union to break up on his watch.
