There Did Not Seem To Be Much In The News That We Found Interesting, Amusing Or Just Plain Weird,


but then I remembered something I read about a few years ago,

a $1,000,000 fishing lure, yes you read that correctly, one million dollars! it's made of three pounds of gold and platinum, and encrusted with 100 carats of diamonds and rubies—4753 stones in all, it's over a foot long,

a work of art in its own right, but would you use it to catch a fish? if you think the answer would be no think again! one team plans to fish one of these lures at the Bisbee's 26th annual Black and Blue Tournament that took place in October 24-28th in 2006, in Cabo San Lucas. Mexico, it will costs just over 30 thousand dollars in insurance money per day just to fish the lure, the intended catch is tuna, did they catch a fish or lose the lure? so far I have not been able to find out, by the way the lure was designed by Mac McBurney and manufactured by Uneek Fine Jewelry Collection, I mention this because this lure has already been sold and is on loan, so you know who to go to if you want one for your own tackle box!
