Beatle Bums

For the Beatles collector who has everything, now something new: John's toilet bowl will be up for auction in Liverpool:

A porcelain toilet used by John Lennon between 1969 and 1972 is among the 303 lots going up for auction Saturday at the 33rd annual Beatle Week Festival in Liverpool.

"The toilet might be worth something, and it might not, but it is certainly one of the more unusual items we've sold," auction organizer Steven Bailey told the Daily Telegraph.

The toilet was in a bathroom at Tittenhurst Park, the English mansion into which Lennon and Yoko Ono moved after John's divorce from his first wife Cynthia. When John and Yoko relocated to New York in 1972, the house was sold to Ringo, who probably used the toilet as well. That means that this toilet might have support one half of the Beatle bums!
