The Breakfast Nook is Sunny

Want to buy a house? The one at right is Herb Clutter's house. He and his wife and two kids were murdered inside in 1959. You might have read about it in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, or saw the story in last year's best picture nominee Capote.

It is being sold by private auction, and you can find it advertised on Ebay. They're having open houses on Sunday, Sept. 17, from 2 to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 8, from 2 to 6 p.m.

Here are some descriptions of the property by the selling agents:

* "The sunny breakfast nook with dining bench boasts the original fabric."

* "The utility room and basement provided ample space for the children to work on 4-H projects and school activities."

* "The savvy investor knows that this home made internationally famous by the tragic death of the Clutter family and the genious work of Truman Capote, in his book IN COLD BLOOD is an ideal investment."

Who wants their eggs sunny side up?
