The Great Illinois Flake

If you're not rolling eggs this Easter, check out your local bowl of cereal. Two sisters from Virginia recently found an "Illinois-shaped" corn flake at their table.

They posted the flake for auction on eBay. On Friday night, it sold for $1,350. The lucky winner wants to start a traveling museum to publicize a trivia web site.

And you thought our economy was in trouble? The full story is on the CNN web site.
