The Associated Press is reporting that an intern with the U.S. National Archives stole 164 Civil War documents (including an announcement of President Lincoln’s death), which he subsequently put on Ebay. That’s weird.

NOTE TO NATIONAL ARCHIVES STAFF: always be suspicious of a 40 year-old who wants to work for free.
