In addition to buying your significant other a Diamond-Tini, you can buy yourself a Gundam Fixed Platinum. A 13 cm, 1,400 gram miniature of Japan’s famous animated robot “Gundam”, this little fellow is made of pure platinum and at today’s prices would go for over $41,000.

Actually, with today’s steadily increasing mineral and metal prices, this may not be a bad investment …

MC Hammer, probably better known for his golden sparkle shirt and parachute pants (and squandering through his thirty million dollar fortune) than his pop-rap, got a new job earlier this month: Web 2.0 Expert! TechCrunch20, the conference which alleges to put a sense of merit back into startup conferences, has declared MC Hammer a Web 2.0 Expert and put him on the panel of judges.

While good news for Hammer, it could be bad news for Web 2.0. After all, Hammer-Time came with an expiry date.

More Kudos to The Cynical Sourcerer for another assist!
