    when you are rich, the rule of common sense is thrown out the window.

    to quote a certain Abridged series: 'Screw the rules, I have money!'

    I'm pretty sure the amount is supposed to be $250,000, not $25,000. If one of these was only $25,000 lots of idiots would have them.

    There are plenty who are - and $25,000 really isn't that much money in the big picture.

    And at 7 pounds of gold, they DEFINITELY mean $250,000.

    It said $250,000 in the article.

    edit: Now it says $235,000.

    Even news articles are now affected by the fluctuations in gold prices. :p 

    If I was rich I'd want a mankini made out of gold.

    I'd sink when I went swimming, but at least my expensive death would likely become a TFW GD thread. :)

    I was imagining a shirt-shaped gold ingot around his body that didn't move and he just sorta stuck his arms out the side. This is less hilarious. :(

    Wasn't something like this a plot point in an episode of Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy?

    I was imagining something similar, but so heavy that it destroyed his spine (seeing as someone clearly destroyed his brain).

    I was imagining exactly the same thing. This is not the same and is less amusing.

    A fool and his money...

    Out of curiosity, how many women actually find this attractive?

    It's easy to get the two confused. Columbus did.
