WINGLESS

‘Flappy Bird’ is dead. But the game lives on, especially on eBay, where you can buy an iPhone with it installed. You know, if you have $100,000.

Flappy Bird was dead. The uber addictive game (the biggest time water of 2014) was yanked from app stores after its creator, Don Nguyen, had had enough.

But like that little bird who looks more like a fish, that little bird who comes back after bumping his or her head on a pipe, the game somehow lives on. If you’ve already downloaded it you can still play.

Or if you have enough cash to buy a phone with it installed on eBay. It only costs about $100,000. (The post has since been removed, because really.)

Wait, doesn’t this phone have Flappy Bird?
