MILO Journals on ebay

This is a little off the topic, but...

Jerry has his extensive collection of MILO Journals for auction on ebay. Actually extensive is not the word, impressive might be better.

What's even more impressive, is that he's donating all of the proceeds to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Check it out
