Forklift drops wine container, smashing bottles of Australian shiraz worth $1 millionBy Associated Press, Updated: Friday, July 22, 5:00 AMADELAIDE, Australia — An unsteady forklift dropped a container full of fine Australian wine worth more than $1 million, smashing most of the bottles. The winemaker says he’s “gut-wrenched, shocked and numb” after the loss of his flagship shiraz. Sparky Marquis of Mollydooker Wines lost a third of his Velvet Glove Shiraz production after the accident that destroyed all but one of the 462 cases bound for the United States. Each bottle of the Mollydooker wine sells for $200. Marquis said Friday that when workers opened up the dropped container, “it was like a murder scene. There was red everywhere.” He said the wine was fully insured. The accident has crippled Mollydooker’s U.S. launch in September. It will also impact the wine market in Australia. Boo hoo.

When I bought my house in Petersburg it had been vacant for many years and all the attic windows were broke out so generations of rats with wings Pigeons had made their home in the attic and the bird poop was several inches deep. It's considered toxic waste and breathing its airborne powder can give you a fatal disease. After I replaced all the windows every morning at dawn you'd hear Thud! Thud! Thud! for quite a while as they would keep flying into the glass repeatedly until they broke their necks. Every day there would be dead Pigeons on the ground under the windows. After a while they ran out of Pigeons.

Nice Gesture, But Perry’s Super Bowl Ring Likely a Replica Posted by Editor on 4/04/11 • Categorized as More Collecting News Exactly why he sold it is a bit of mystery, but in 2007, William 'The Refrigerator' Perry's Super Bowl XX championship ring went on the auction block. The size 23 monster was sold for over $27,000 by the now defunct Mastro Auctions. Perry was back in the Chicago area over the weekend, making a personal appearance and was surprised when a young fan came up—not old enough to have been born when the '85 Bears beat the Patriots—and presented him with his Super Bowl ring. Along with it, came this story about the kid and his parents using part of his college fund to buy the ring just so they could present it to Perry, who at times has been down on his luck. According to the article, the purchase price was $8500. Coincidentally or not, a salesman's sample Perry ring is listed as sold here for that same amount. It's not likely the real deal could have been picked up for some $19,000 less three years after it was originally sold.
