    On the Auction Block: 5,000 Leftover Condoms From The Olympics

    Hot date this weekend? Impress with your sports memorabilia collection by snatching up these 5,000 condoms leftover from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With inscriptions like faster, higher, and stronger, they're a bargain at a starting bid of $730.

    The tale behind the auction is that somehow, out of the 100,000 condoms distributed during the Olympics, one guy managed to get 5,000. I guess at some point it sunk in that if he hasn't used a single one by now, he never will. But hey, his loss could be your pile of probably expired condoms. Let's call it the non-gadget deal of the day. [Sports Rubbish]
