SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A seller on eBay tried to auction off a cough drop that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly used, then tossed into a trash can - listing the item under the heading Schwarzenegger's DNA.
But the ad posted on the popular website Friday was quickly yanked after EBay decided it fell into the category of "body parts," which the website will not list for sale.
The original listing was accompanied by two photos of a half-consumed cough drop and the words, "Own a piece of DNA from the man himself." The seller indicated he or she had seen Schwarzenegger discard the lozenge at a recent public event and had retrieved it.
