More than 500 Iranians have pledged to sell one of their kidneys to help finance the killing of Salman Rushdie, the "blasphemous" British author condemned to death by Islamic religious decree in 1989. BBC News reports that a total of 508 people have thus far offered kidneys and signed up to help pay the $2.8 million bounty on Rushdie's pompous but ultimately harmless head, and fatwa supporters hope to further boost their kidney pledge drive by taking it to the Internet.

The bounty has since been upped to $3 million. February 14 will mark the 15th anniversary since Islam declared fatwa against Rushdie, suggesting that, like HIV, an Islamic fatwa is no longer the automatic death sentence it used to be.
