Napoléon's good luck charm could fetch $250 million or more at auction

Is that your talisman? Or are you happy to see me?

As I recall, her nickname for him was “teapot”, so maybe not.

this bauble looks like trash, the pseudoscientific “GUARANTEED to be what we say it is” salesese on the website is offensive to anyone with a brain, and I hope the auctioneer walks away with a set of used golf clubs for this effort.

Here in America, where Lies are acceptable, something is only what society agrees it is. If a bunch of liars and grifters agree this is from Napolean’s cockring, so be it - that becomes the truth! Especially if they can advertise and then get a dumb rich person to spend a bunch of money on it. However, there is one way to know that it truly IS Napolean’s good luck charm – if it comes with an NFT that can be traced and verified through the Block Chain!

Am I the only one who clicked on the link thinking that “good luck charm” was a euphemism for his penis?

At 0% it’s even less probable that it belonged to someone else, than a sperm whale suddenly materializing several miles above an alien planet…

Nothing says trustworthy like a website that looks like it’s selling you a supplement. But hey the current owner is a member of MENSA so it must be right :rofl: . If anyone has the patience to read the 120 page report please do tell.

Edit I couldn’t resist so I read some of the pdf. Page 11 is full of evidence like doing some math on the number of jewels gets you 2 which is B for Bonnaparte. I won’t reproduce as this feels like the sort of author who will get annoying about the copyright they have claimed on their a analysis… But someone read too much DaVinci Code. And page 49 has the “probability analysis”.

If there was an iota of a doubt, I wouldn’t spotlight it myself.

That is a curious way to express one’s faith in the bona fides of the unpleasant looking objet.

There’s a line in Foucault’s Pendulum (the Eco novel), where one of the protagonists describes Napoleon’s reaction to some frothing-at-the-mouth scandalous exposition about the hidden influence and power the Freemasons wield: he joined up immediately, in as many rites as he could.

The fact they spelled Napoleon’s name wrong is what makes this art
