Sun Wukong's Magic Staff, Secondhand

This is my favorite listing ever on Carousell, a website for secondhand goods. It's a rusty metal pipe with the name of Sun Wukong's magic staff written on it in marker. The selling price is the equivalent of $27,883,903.80 USD.

Lunar New Year 2023 - the Year of the Rabbit

“Happy New Year!” That’s what we said to our hostess at Pao’s Chinese Restaurant on Sunday. The moment we said those words, her eyes brightened. She said: “Oh, I have something for you!” When she returned, she had red envelopes for each of us.
