Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A Boston-based auction house fetched a high bid of $7,753 for an unusual piece of celebrity mem- orabilia: University of Pennsylvania papers graded by Elon Musk.
RR Auctions said the papers, which were writ- ten in 1995 by then-student Brian Thomas, were graded by the Tesla CEO
and SpaceX founder when he was a teacher's assistant for Professor Myles Bass at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business.
The papers are marked, graded and initialed by Musk, who etched only one comment on the documents -- the word "graphic" in response to a profanity used by the student.
Thomas said
he does not remember Musk being present in the class, but he held onto the papers over the years because of his fond memo- ries of Bass. He said it was his son who noticed the papers had been graded by the now-famous businessman.
Thomas' papers were sold to an unnamed buyer for $7,753.
Woman Thinks She's Buying MiniaturePiglet, Doesn't Expect It ToGrowTo250kg
Rosangela dos Santos Lara went to market and bought a little pig- gie as a pet, but then it grew and grew and grew.
Now aged three, Lilica, the sow weighs 250 kilo- grams and gets through 5 kilo- grams of fruit and vegetables a day plus animal feed, eating away much of Rosangela's tight household budget.
She says the sell- er tricked her, but Lilica still sleeps
on a mattress in the bedroom that the 59-year-old teacher shares with her husband Nelson, an unem- ployed fisherman in the Brazilian coastal town of Peruibe near Sao Paulo city.
