Spurned Lover Offers Ring In Twitter Treasure Hunt

June 8th, 2009 | Posted by Kanya in Interesting - (0 Comments)

A New Zealand man, rejected by the woman of his dreams, has come up with a novel way of disposing of the diamond engagement ring he bought her – a treasure hunt.

Anyone keen to pick up the ring, valued at NZ$5,000 ($4,000), will need to be in New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, on Saturday to join the hunt, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

“I met this girl I thought was pretty cool, bought a ring, turns out she wasn’t as keen,” Anthony Gardiner, a 29-year-old call-centre worker, told the Dominion Post.

Clues to the ring’s whereabouts will start being posted on social networking site Twitter at 8am (local time) on Saturday.

Mr Gardiner says he will keep posting clues, and if the ring is not found by the end of the day, “my clues will suddenly change into directions”.

Having bought the ring in Hong Kong, he couldn’t return it, and didn’t want to sell it, so he hit upon the treasure hunt.

Hanging on to it in the hopes of finding a willing recipient is also not an option.

“Obviously, it’s been a pretty unlucky ring for me,” Mr Gardiner said, adding he hoped it would be found by somebody who has “found a cool chick and who wants to give them something they normally wouldn’t be able to afford”.

Bizarre Bed For The Ultimate Man Space

If you roll over & fall out of bed, you only have yourself to blame

If you roll over & fall out of bed, you only have yourself to blame

To make your space complete, whether it’s a man cave, evil lair or your own little scuzzy studio, there are few things that can make a personal statement quite like a bed. You spend over 12 hours a day in it (that’s normal, right?) and, if you’re lucky some very happy times can be spent in, on or under your bed. So forget about sizes queen, king and blah blah for once and pick a wacky bed.  Think of it as a great conversation-starter!

Man spends days unnoticed in Pa. family’s attic

December 30th, 2008 | Posted by ankesh in Interesting - (0 Comments)

A family didn’t realize it had an unexpected Christmas guest until a man who had been in their attic for days emerged wearing their clothes, police said.

Stanley Carter surrendered Friday after police took a dog to search the home in Plains Township, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre about 100 miles north of Philadelphia. He was charged with several counts of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and criminal trespass.

“When he came down from the attic, he was wearing my daughter’s pants and my sweat shirt and sneakers,” homeowner Stacy Ferrance said. “From what I gather, he was helping himself to my home, eating my food and stealing my clothes.”

Police said the 21-year-old Carter had been staying with friends who are Ferrance’s neighbors in a duplex. He apparently accessed the shared attic through a trap door in a bedroom ceiling.

Carter disappeared Dec. 19, and the friends filed a missing person report a few days before Christmas.

Ferrance said she had heard noises but thought they were caused by her three children. She notified police on Christmas Day when cash, a laptop computer and an iPod disappeared, then called police again the next day when she found footprints in her bedroom closet, where the attic trap door is.

Carter kept a list of everything he took, said Plains Township police Officer Michael Smith.

“When we were going through the inventory of what he did take, we found a note labeled ‘Stanley’s Christmas List’ of all the items he had removed from the residence and donated to himself,” Smith said.

Carter was in jail Sunday at the Luzerne County jail with a preliminary hearing set for Jan. 5. He did not yet have an attorney.
