I see, by the way, that clusty.com has now adopted Google's habit of
having sponsored results. The very first item on a search for "bail up
bushranger" is a suggestion that you can find "Bali up" (note different
spelling) on eBay. It appears that "Bali up" is an item of women's clothing.

Searching for my name in GG, I was discomfited to find I was apparently
for sale on eBay.

I'd have bougbt you if it weren't for the shipping charges ...

Oh, and the Thirteenth Amendment.

We can get round that trifle. You could buy my hair, and I would
deliver it in the most convenient manner.

Which raises a question. If it's unlawful to buy or sell a human being,
including oneself, surely any trade in body parts, let alone embryos,
is at best a grey area. Have we a clear definition of the parts or
physiological products in which such trade is permissible? Are there
clear grounds for a distinction for this purpose between living and
dead humans? And would such a distinction not be dangerous?
