Does she come with a warranty?

I did find this update at Ananova;

Woman 'shocked' at £10m internet auction bid
A 24-year-old internet entrepreneur who auctioned herself as a wife says she's shocked that bids reached £10 million.
Kay Hammond, from Birmingham, put a reserve price of £250,000 on the eBay auction.
But the internet auction site has now withdrawn her advert less than 24 hours after it appeared.
An eBay spokeswoman says: "It's a grey area, but there are certain things that aren't considered appropriate, like people selling their virginity or their soul."
Ms Hammond, who's managing director of TAMBA Internet told Ananova: "I'm not selling my body and I'm not selling sex - I'm selling the whole thing."
She adds: "I can't believe people are bidding for me. I'm thrilled - and shocked. It's so bizarre."
She's received around 600 emails since the ad appeared and is considering putting herself up for auction on other auction sites.
The eBay spokeswoman says the 11 bids aren't valid and that the auction has been "annulled".

Uhh.....not worth it.

She's kinda cock-eyed...

... 'blonde' is my favorite colour ... what can I say!?

[Poohbah]

Actually, she's from Utah.

[GeoPie]

Ah, I'll keep my wife.

[GRANGER]

Sorry. She is a little cross-eyed. Possibly from focusing on things right in front of her nose.

[_Jim]

She's kinda cock-eyed...

"Brit"

[alaskanfan]

Can she split and pack firewood as well as cook and clean? If so put my name in the pot.

[umbra]

10 million pounds for that gal??

Does Bin Laden have a UK Passport?

[Dan from Michigan]

No way.
