“Four-and-a-half toilet rolls containing the words from Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick have gone up for auction on eBay for a whopping $400. The American seller – who goes by the name ‘The_Heppcat’ – claims he was challenged by a friend to write a book on a loo roll after joking that they should come with instructions. And he’s only decided to put them up for auction now in a bid to prove his end of the deal. The seller explained: ‘My friend and I once joked that toilet paper should have instructions printed on them for certain people. ‘One day, the conversation grew from there and turned into a wager that I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) be able to type out a novel on toilet paper.” w/ photo
