- Theod48, on 08/21/2008, -2/+70you breed raptors...
- VBDon, on 08/21/2008, -10/+74Maybe it's just another Sasquatch. Are it's feet made of rubber?
- AndrewDB, on 08/21/2008, -0/+58Isnipedit Athelastsecondous.

boom headshot. - Michas, on 08/21/2008, -1/+39Time to ebay weird creatures.
- DrErick, on 08/21/2008, -2/+35Alfred is a terrible name for an insect
- digitalpencil, on 08/21/2008, -3/+33sounds like a Harry Potter spell.
- dsmx, on 08/21/2008, -1/+29Thanks for standing still, wanker.
- Seaton, on 08/21/2008, -0/+26Spared No Expense!
- TVarmy, on 08/21/2008, -0/+26You know what sucks? The guy says he wants to name it after Ebay, but that the community will look down on him for doing so.
I wonder if the guy who named a spider after Stephen Colbert gets beat up a lot by his fellow scientists now :( - JMellissa, on 08/21/2008, -0/+24Gee, I guess you really CAN buy anything on eBay. Remember the Russian MIG jet for sale (with no ordnance of course)? Remember the ENTIRE TOWN for sale? Some guy sold his life?
- ChileanGoD, on 08/21/2008, -1/+24Imagine the listing info...
Totally unknown insect. We looked everywhere and we don't know what the ***** it is! New species guarantee or money back. - TVarmy, on 08/21/2008, -0/+18L@@K! Original BOX Giant Squid!!!! GREAT QUALITY!
- palehorse864, on 08/21/2008, -7/+24Darn it, missed the bid! That bug could have been named after me,
Alfred P. Aphid! - TripmastaMonkey, on 08/21/2008, -0/+17Damn, I lost the "This must be a The Onion article" game.
- DangerMouse9, on 08/21/2008, -4/+20You know what else would be a cool viral marketing preamble, you getting cancer and dying just before they announce a cure for cancer.
- Br3ach, on 08/21/2008, -0/+16Id say the person who recognized its historical significance deserves the credit, not the guy who was just selling some random crap in his basement
- palehorse864, on 08/21/2008, -1/+16***Ba-dum tish!!***
- ChileanGoD, on 08/21/2008, -1/+15EBAY.. Where biological discoveries are made.
- rzermatt, on 08/21/2008, -1/+14http://instantrimshot.com
- Rowan187, on 08/21/2008, -2/+14JURASSIC PARK COULD HAPPEN
- VBDon, on 08/21/2008, -0/+12Oops, I missed that one.
- ChiffX, on 08/21/2008, -7/+19Are its*
- socalftw, on 08/21/2008, -0/+11sold for only 20... seller is kicking himself in the ass.
- ICSU, on 08/21/2008, -0/+10http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7572052.stm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindarus_harringtoni - PlugMyDuck, on 08/21/2008, -1/+10"Ebay, find something unique" has to be their new slogan.
- ICSU, on 08/21/2008, -0/+9The other scientist named it after him.
- Danhrules, on 08/21/2008, -0/+8I always assumed that a preserved insect millions of years old would cost a fair bit more than £20!
Infact, purchase your own piece of amber with a Gnat or Spider:

http://tinyurl.com/5gx6wr - h4mx0r, on 08/21/2008, -0/+8I say we nuke the entire site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure. - MisterFawkes, on 08/21/2008, -2/+9It would actually be Ebaytourous foundicous in italics... The second first letter is always lower case.
- DangerMouse9, on 08/21/2008, -0/+7Yes, please tell us more about your day to day activities. How many hours do you spend on digg? How many hours do you spend arguing with people that associate with you on the correct pronunciation of the Harry Potter spells.
I'm just enthralled with what your life story must be. - Llanowar, on 08/21/2008, -0/+7A better system would be to have the exact time of ending like now. But to add a certain amount of time if a bid is made within a certain amount of time before ending.
- tedrock, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6are they all going to be discovered on ebay too?
- kinglenster, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6Buy something no-one else wants and you'll never be outbid again.
- IceSabre, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6Go to the amazon. Throw a rock. Find dead insect under it. New species of insect discovered. IIRC correctly the scientist are guessing thousands if not tens of thousands of undiscovered species in the rainforests. Who knows how many worldwide. Millions maybe.
Not saying that his ebay find wasn't great.... just not going to change the world in any measurable fashion. - DonCreech, on 08/21/2008, -1/+7Wait a minute, who the hell is the seller? Is this not complete ***** for that guy, or does he just have a brood of these things?
- thelock65, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6Mr. Sciiientiiiiiist.....
- Bob24, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5Dr. Alan Grant: No because that wouldn't make sense.
- beefchi, on 08/21/2008, -1/+6at least give SOME credit to the seller...
- justice7, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5bingo! DINO DNA!
- 64bit, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5We should drill for some blood in the stomach of the bug, and clone some dinosaurs. Can't forget to mix in some frog DNA. Jurrassic Park!
- Fracture98, on 08/21/2008, -2/+7It's tummy is; and its bottom is made out of springs.
- TVarmy, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5All he needs to do is hire one crappy system admin, and it'll all come crashing down on him.
A bit like PayPal. -
