Post Yale's Skull & Bones Frat house firesale!
In case you are in the market for something truly evil and SATANIC. Necromancy ain't just for the Middle Ages anymore!

Reportedly they have Geronimo's skull and maybe Pancho Villa's. No word on the Baphomet...



http://rawstory.com/2010/01/grisly-skul ... auctioned/


Grisly trophies from Yale University's mysterious Skull and Bones society, whose members include former president George W. Bush, are to go on auction in New York this month.

The human skull and two large bones are estimated to sell for between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars on January 22 at Christie's.

The auction house said the human remains were used as a ballot box by the secret society. The skull includes a specially cut lid in the top -- apparently for ballots -- and one of the bones is inscribed "THOR."

The auction lot also comes with a black book listing names of Skull and Bones members back in 1831-1877.

"The ballot box and documents offer a rare glimpse into an organization in which membership has evolved into a closely guarded secret," Christie's said.
Story continues below...

Members, dubbed "Bonesmen," have included Bush and his father, who also served as president, Senator John Kerry, the late conservative writer William F. Buckley, Jr, and a number of major businessmen such as Averell Harriman and H.J. Heinz II.

The society, joined by leading students at the university and which is said to maintain bizarre initiation rites, was founded at Yale in 1832. Women were admitted for the first time in the 1990s.

Prospective buyers can learn more at Christies.

I guess poor Thor was a mid 1800's liberal :wink:

You would never know what the building is when you drive by it. No windows, no lights, no indications that it is the skull and bones building. Its square in the center of a busy area, very weird.

Wonder why they are selling such items.

Probably losing members, who'd wanna be in the same club both Bush and Kerry were in? Or the internet, it's just good to blame the internet sometimes.

Skull & Crossbone alum do not consider non-members as human, so they thought it would be alright.
