Guy in Australia unearths a massive 11 pound $300k gold nugget with his metal detector
A prospector in Victoria, Australia, unearthed a 177oz (~11-lb) gold nugget he found using nothing but a metal detector. The gold itself is worth just under $300,000 by weight, but the piece will likely be sold for significantly more due to it’s unique nature.

This is the gold brick LEGO shits out to employees who have been working for the company for 25 years
I assume it actually fits with regular plastic LEGO bricks, but this $14,000 gold LEGO brick isn’t something you’ll find anywhere anytime soon.

Most of the gold on Earth came here on asteroids. Or from God.
Gold and silver and platinum are relatively rare, which partially defines their value, but it’s sort of odd that they’re here at all. The thing about these metals is that they’re very attracted to iron, and if they formed with most of the other geology, when the Earth was born, they would have long since disappeared into the core.

Want some color with that bling? It’s now possible with SCIENCE. Nano-science.
If you want something really tacky looking, you can already get gold that has a tint to it, but it’s just tinted with some cheap, temporary process. If you really want to change the color of something permanently, you have to do so at the molecular level so that it reflects different wavelengths of visible light. And you have to do it with LASERS.

Mr. T shouldn’t be giving financial advice on Bloomberg
And honestly Mr. T… it’s past time to give up the mohawk. I know it was part of your trademark at one point, but balding plus mohawks really, really don’t mix. Just shave your head. That shit looks awful.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen the connection being made to Goldline, a gold buying service that advertises heavily on Glenn Beck’s radio show and Glenn Beck’s Chicken Little routine, but this is the first time I’ve seen Goldline’s whole schtick presented into such a nice infographic.
