eBay is a strange portal where you can find just about anything, from plastic spoons to vintage grill knobs. Some person that we can only assume is a wealthy sex toy collector recently bid $2.5 million on this interesting sculpture that was listed as "Wood Sculpture Native Spirit Kyynmwahppt, Art, Dildo, sexy, penis."

Crafted in Canada, this 43-centimeter-long piece was started in 2004 and completed in 2013. According to the listing, the guy who made it became an artist because a healer told him to enter the profession. The seller writes that the wood came from the homes of Cree villagers who were relocated during the James Bay Hydro-Electric Project in the '70s, and that the Elders "personally asked the artist to hand select pieces of wood to sculpt native spirits."

There is no way to validate the seller's claims, but we have to admit that it makes for a pretty awesome story, and clearly someone thought it was special (we'll see if they actually pay up).
