Mol'dar's Moxie, for those that don't remember the good old days of Dire Maul North "Tribute runs," was a buff given to you by Guard Mol'dar that grants an additional 15% stamina for 2 hours.

Scarmbrena describes in the thread how she was able to stack this buff a total of 15 times, bringing her total stamina to 11,896 and her health to a whopping 122,394! Just to put that in perspective, Pathaleon the Calculator (the last boss in the Mechanar), has 130,000 health.

Obviously, this qualifies as an abuse of game mechanics (albeit a creative one), but even more surprising is that the patch notes for 2.1 state that the Dire Maul Tribute buffs shouldn't work on a player over level 63, yet in the screenshot linked in the thread, Scarmbrena is level 70.

I can't say I recommend that anyone try this since Scarmbrena almost got banned herself for it, but it is interesting to see a player amass that much health!

What sort of monstrous skeleton is this, you ask? Well, your guess is as good as mine. However, I do know that this stunning specimen can be found hanging above the library of Dire Maul, and that this particular example was sent in by reader Millarun of Ysondre.

On my server, aces for the Darkmoon Faire decks tend to sell on the auction house for between 150 and 200 gold.  That is, except for the ace of warlords, which seems to have bottomed out at 4 gold or so - and there tend to be ten of them on the auction house at any given time.  The drop rate of the ace isn't high enough to make getting these quantities easily, which does make one wonder where they're coming from.  The usual answer - farmers with teleport hacks, which allow them to jump directly to King Gordok in Dire Maul, kill him, and collect their loot.  This video, which recently showed up on Google Video, shows us what might actually be happening here.
