For Some One Who Has Everything,

how about one of these?

it is a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton nicknamed Samson, it is expected to sell for £4.8million when it is auctioned next month, the 66 million year old dinosaur measures 15 feet tall by 40 feet long and is one of the largest ever discovered, it was found in South Dakota, United States, in 1987 and excavated in 1992, Thomas Lindgren, co-consulting Director of Natural History at auctioneers Bonhams & Butterfields, hopes the skeleton will be bought by a museum, 'We have had tremendous worldwide interest in Samson,' he said, 'Although we cannot predict who the successful buyer will be, it is our hope that a museum or institution will find the funding to purchase it, I estimate it will sell for between £3.6million and £4.8million, as someone said, £4.8million for a second hand one - how much would a new one cost? slightly off track anyone in the Staten Island area can go to the Staten Island Zoo, free, they have announced free admission every Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:45, normally $8 for adults.
