eBay, the online auction web site, is famous for postings of hard to find and collectable merchandise. Items to tickle the fancy of the oddest collectors, such as celebrity-chewed bubble gum, photographs of a still living Elvis, and even random pairs of old underpants, can be bought for a price. Yet, one Michigan woman attempted to sell the mummified remains of a human on eBay, causing the auction giant to yank the item. The mummy was confiscated by Clair County medical examiners on Tuesday, and Michigan officials are attempting to determine the origins of the remains.

Lynn Sterling, the entrepreneurial woman responsible for the posting, told police officials that she had acquired the mummy for an old friend who had worked on a demolition project 30 years ago. Lynn stated that she had spoken with an attorney regarding the matter before posting the remains.

According to the National Geographic and new evidence, it is now believed that the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker may be living in the panhandle of the state of Florida.

The birds, once believed to be extinct, may actually still be living in Florida, surviving along the Choctawhatchee River. The report was made available from scientists on Tuesday in the scientific journal, "Avian Conservation and Ecology."
