"Last Word"-The Really Big Cheese

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, a famous fromage is up for sale. A 44- pound wedge of cheddar cheese is being auctioned online, with the proceeds going to charity. For the last 11 months, the cheese has been the star of a web site called "cheddar vision." The site has gotten more than a million and a half hits and as people log on to watch the cheese age, very, very slowly. Bids will be accepted until November 19 and the cheese will be ready to eat by Christmas. And Paul, those bids have already surpassed a thousand dollars. The proceeds go to BBC Children in Need. It's a charity that helps disadvantaged children in the UK.

KANGAS: Well, Susie, no matter how you slice it, it sounds like a great idea to me.

GHARIB: Forty-four pounds of cheese, huh?

KANGAS: I love cheddar.
