p2pnet news | P2P:- Yesterday’s big People story was news that Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales was being hauled over the coals by his ex-(girl) friend Rachel Marsden, who chose to air the couple’s dirty linen on eBay where, in a much-amended auction, she’s selling certain items of guaranteed authentic Wales-wear.

In case anyone’s interested, said items include a medium size black “Pronto-Uomo” brand sweater, which Rachel is modeling in the pic on the right, and a “medium sized, black ‘Starter’ brand shirt” with “two white stains”.

They’d reached at $857.47 at 7:50 am Pacific and No, Wales wasn’t one of the bidders.

From Vancouver, BC, in Canada, Marsden describes herself as a, “New York based political columnist, political and media strategist, radio/TV personality, CEO of Grand Central Political online political/PR/media talent scouting, and Editor-in-Chief of Grand Central Political magazine – serving the USA, Canada, UK, and France” and modestly says she’s, “considered an expert in both US and international politics”.

On her site, she also says she spent her childhood on her parents’ farm selling eggs from the family driveway and, “To ensure the operation looked legit and to score an advantage over the competition (the neighborhood Safeway), she would hold her pet chicken, Brenda (named after her Sunday school teacher), on her lap as proof that the eggs were truly ‘farm fresh’.”

Now you know.
