I am fully intrigued by secret societies. I think that shiz is some kind of effed up. But, I am so intrigued that I don’t want them to stop and I might even place a bid on the Skull and Bones Ballot Box.
Oh yes, Skull and Bones is Yale’s own male-only secret society and somehow Christie’s got their hands on the Skull and Bones Ballot Box that dates back to 1872. The box is made out of a real human skull. I wonder what election necessitated a human skull ballot box... Probably whoever had the better banana bread recipe.
