Leave it to Tool to sign a weird item to be auctioned off for charity.

As part of Julien’s Auctions upcoming event dubbed “Icons & Idols,” a kitchen sink signed by all four members of Tool will be up for bid. Proceeds from the sale of the double sink seen below will go to The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.

Julien’s Auctions estimates the sink will sell for between $500-$700, but we’ve seen crazier items sell for way more. Back in September, Julien’s hosted an auction of various items from former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman where a Stones-branded toilet seat cover sold for $1,152 and set a record for “most expensive toilet seat lid cover ever sold at auction.”

At least if the sink sells for big money, it’ll benefit a great cause. Oh, and if you really want to bid on that sink, the auction takes place December 1 and 2 and complete details on how to place a bid can be found on JuliensAuctions.com.

8 Celebrities You May Have Forgotten Were Veterans

  The Tool frontman joined the United States Army in 1981 and studied at West Point from 1983-1984.

  The first two words you think of when talking about Bob Ross is likely “Happy Trees” and not “Master Sergeant,” but that’s the highest rank the host of “The Joy Of Painting” held in his 20 years with the Air Force.

He was honorably discharged in June 1962 following a report filed by his platoon sergeant stating, "He has no interest whatsoever in the Army ... It is my opinion that Private Hendrix will never come up to the standards required of a soldier. I feel that the military service will benefit if he is discharged as soon as possible."
