Found this on Ispreview.co.uk today, to bizarre not to share with you all 
We've decided to post this because it brightened up an otherwise stormy day, UK.Internet have found a sight that sells MUD! Yes that's right, MUD!
In case there's some confusion, it's that brown stuff that helps most of the
earth grow vegetation like as trees and plants - it's mud:
In the six weeks that the site has been up it has received more than 500
hits. Pileofmud.com offers such delights as the £2.99 'pauper pack' of
common soil through to the more exotic executive selection at £19.99,
offering a choice of quality topsoils. Also available is a video of mud being
dug up and the History of Mud pamphlet along with mugs and mousemats
plastered with the Pile of Mud logo. All the gifts are wrapped and accompanied by a personalised greeting
card. Jonathan Fagan, the 27-year-old Leicester-based owner of the
company, said although it is a tongue-in-cheek concept, Pileofmud is still
a genuine business. And if a customer really wants to start the
mudslinging with a friend, Pileofmud will deliver a special 500 kilos of mud
for the bargain price of about £5000. Eerily similar to the site that tries to sell off pieces of the Moon and in fact
the entire solar system, this one is just plain mad (didn't say mud) unless
you're not from the UK. So if you can't quite work out what to get that
overseas relative for X-Mas, why not send them some mud, they'll love you
for it =) - honest! Alternative presents could be bits of your old and dead great grandmother
in a pictured frame or maybe even a 14,400modem from the Stone Age. IP: Logged |

Hey, Wakeup,
I jumped at your offer, but now I'm not so keen. I'll bo honest with you, mate I smell something rotten here and it ainn't no organic topsoil either, it's a con! That's right, a con! Naah, I'm not that naive, mate 250 quid for a good pile of stinking mud! You must be mad! It doesn't come THAT cheap, go and try to sell your pile somewhere else. Or maybe you are trying to dump it which is as bad a practise, baaad!
