Got a Spare $60,000?
Over a thousand pieces of Charlton Heston's movie memorabilia will be auctioned off later in the summer according to The Washington Post (amongst others). Highlights include the green kaftan that Ben-Hur wears at the crucifixion and his costume from The Ten Commandments (1956). But the most impressive item is surely a set of the commandments themselves which are expected to raise $60,000. The auction is due to take place on the 31st July and the 1st August. If only my second child wasn't due to be born the same day...(Hat tip to Peter Chattaway).

Thanks Peter,
I've been really bad at telling people this time around, though I'm disappointed not to have told you.
Speak to you soon.
Matt
