Terry Brooks has donated the opportunity to become a character in one of his books to a charity auction site. Damed good idea if you ask me.

When we went to Scotland for our holiday, we drove past signs pointing to a place called 'Findo Gask'. Co-incidence or something more sinister...

Pretty cool, I hope he makes a good deal of money from it as it's for a good cause.

About 29hrs to go now, current top bid is about $1,400 so not bad at all. I wonder if there's some last minute bidding battles a la eBay...
