[OMFG] Meets [Random Cool]: ‘Ghostbusters’ Slot Machine, ‘Army of Darkness’ Cake, Nicolas Cage a Vampire??!
Three fun OMFG bits stars with a Seattle based man was asking $1 million for what he says is a photo taken in 1870 of a Tennessee man that shows “a man who looks exactly like Nicolas Cage. Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.” The seller insisted the photo was authentic, and taken around the time of the Civil War. As of Sept. 16, he had 78 offers for the pic, all of which he had declined. Check out this bizarre image inside.
