     STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (Rueters) -- Joe Paterno's bronze
statute has just been re-listed on eBay after failing to get
a single bid.

     "It's a piece of worthless junk and nobody wants it," said
Gov. Meg Whitman of California, former CEO of the the world's
most popular bidding venue.

<     THE STATUE THAT NOBODY WANTS

     Penn State has changed its ad a wee bit, now
offering a much-reduced price and free delivery
instead of the $4,200 it was charging for shipping
and handling.
<
    "I'm sure they'll get some suckers -- 'er, bidders
-- now," said Whitman.
<
<   LOTS OF PATERNO CRAP SELLING ON EBAY

<
    Folks in State College can't wait for the total purge
of Joe Paterno memorabilia which probably will rival
what the Soviet Union had done to the memory of
osef Stalin, like total rewriting of its history books.

<
    Meanwhile, memories of Paterno's dictatorship at Penn
State University keep falling by the wayside.
<
    However, there have been some unusual twists
and turns.

    Lover's Lane Road -- high on the mountain top
near State College which ends abruptly at the
beginning of a deep crevice and has resulted
in many accidents and suicides over the years --
has been re-named Suicide Lane or, more popularly,
Paterno Way.
