Football World Cup made from Cocaine

Colombian police have at least got their hands on a version of the trophy… made out of cocaine.

The replica of the World Cup trophy was seized by Colombian authorities at Bogota’s international airport.

Airports anti-drug chief Colonel Jose Piedrahita said Colombian authorities found the statue during a routine security check by anti-drug agents in a mail warehouse at the airport. The 36-centimetre-high statue was painted gold.

The statue was inside a box headed for Madrid, Spain.

Col Piedrahita said laboratory tests had confirmed the cup was made of 11 kilos of cocaine, mixed with acetone or petrol to make it mouldable.

World’s most expensive suit on sale for £600,000


World's most expensive suit

How much is too much for the perfect suit?

The world’s most expensive men’s suit is to go on sale for almost £600,000 (US$893,562) in what has been billed as the “ultimate in luxury fashion”, according to its British designer said.

The bespoke suit, made with cashmere wool, silk and diamonds, took more than 600 hours to produce.

Stuart Hughes, its 39 year-old Liverpool-based designer, said almost 500 diamonds were embodied throughout the suit.

Hughes has only made three of the suits, and a French buyer has already bought one in a size 41.

Hughes, a Liverpool-based designer who has also designed/embellished the world’s most expensive TVs, Nintendo gadgets, iPhones and model cars, says the suit, which is his first foray into clothing, is “very luxurious” and “will make any man stand out from the crowd.” You can say that again.

He said each single cut gem was 0.5cts, colour G, VS2 quality, all of which total 240 cts.

Mr Hughes worked with Richard Jewels to produce four exclusive suits, which come with a two week all expenses paid trip to Arc en Ciel in St Lucia included.

Mr Hughes said 10 per cent of the sales will be donated to the Haiti relief fund.

Mannequin

A reported “mummified” body on an abandoned boat in the Florida Keys turned out to be a mannequin.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says a young couple spotted what they thought was a dead body in an abandoned boat off Sugarloaf Key on Saturday night. They said it appeared to be mummified.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sent a boat to take deputies to the scene. They found only a mannequin on the boat. No human remains were on board.
