Alex, do non gold bugs experience these things like I and grampa do ? For example, we can see something that is not there, or we can not see something which is there. aSoon I see the price of gold aRising. bBut once again I see the same thing. cAgain that which I saw that did not happen. uSee what I see that is not there ? Almond Joy Candy Bar verses Mounds Because some days you feel like a gata nut, and some days not. douganut doughnut has a hole left in the middle to hold a scoop of ice cream Warning: donut holes for sale at Dunkin Donuts are a fake. Why: because they do not come from real donuts. What! because they are made without making donuts. Point? a hole needs something that used to be around it.

'Minos Ring' is worth big bucks Fri Apr 5,10:37 AM ET ATHENS, Greece (Reuters) - A gold ring long held in folklore to have belonged to the legendary King Minos but dismissed by experts as a fake has been found to be a real 3,500-year-old artifact. Greek Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos told Greek television Thursday that the engraved "Minos Ring" was worth about $350,000 on the antiquities market and would now be displayed in a museum. "This (barely) reflects its historical and scientific value," he said of the estimated value. The thick gold seal ring depicts a boat at sea between two ports where Minoan women sit among houses and plants. It was discovered in 1928 by locals in the ruins of the city of Knossos on Crete and declared by authorities as a fake. Legend, however, quickly embellished the finding. Local lore said King Minos himself hurled his ring into the Aegean Sea only for it to be found by Theseus, the hero who killed the Minotaur in the Knossos labyrinth. A local priest held on to it for decades despite its dubious origin. A descendant found it after the priest's death and promptly delivered it to Greece's archeological authorities, who this time declared it a rare and precious masterpiece. Venizelos said the honest citizen who turned in the ring would be rewarded and the artifact displayed at Crete's Heraklion Museum along with most other Knossos finds. story.news.yahoo.com
