Apparently flush with cash for oddball purchases, online casino GoldenPalace.com has bought Britney Spears' alleged home-pregnancy test for $5,001, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

"It's hard to put a price on Britney Spears' urine," Golden Palace spokesman Drew Black told the news service. Golden Palace said it purchased the test from an Ottawa radio station that allegedly retrieved the discarded test from the trash outside Spears' Los Angeles hotel room months ago.

Golden Palace's other recent acquisitions include a that purportedly resembles the Virgin Mary's face and a Doritos chip that looks like the pope's hat. Last month, the online casino paid more than $15,000 to a woman to name her newborn Golden Palace.
