Being unleashed on the world at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, the SuperVeloce (a nod to the brand's historic Sport Veloce or SV badge) is capable of some super velocity, with a claimed 212-mph top speed and 3.2-sec dashes to 62 mph
It's as if at this moment I can feel God embracing me!!
The Sonicare Crest IntelliClean ($140) may be the most expensive toothbrush out there, but it's easily worth twice as much. It c****ines bristles that run at more than 30,000 strokes per minute and gentle sonic waves to clean away plaque from your teeth and cleans in between them and along the gum line better than any toothbrush in the world. It has a built-in liquid toothpaste dispensing system, dual speed control, and an automatic timer that beeps every 30 seconds to remind you to move to another part of your mouth and turns off after the recommended brushing time of two minutes. Oh, and for wimps like us, the Sonicare lets you get acquainted with it gently thanks to a feature that gradually increases brushing power over the first 14 uses.
What are the most expensive Champagne Glasses in the world?
A good champagne glass cannot be overestimated and thats certainly true when it comes to the glasses designed by John Calleija.
This pair of glasses holds white and a very rare argyle pink colored diamonds, over 1,700 to be in fact. They are intrinsically hand-crafted using only the best, of course, 8 kilogram blocks of quart crystal.
With fifteen carats of diamonds in total and weighing just over half a pound each, each glass stands at just about six inches tall.
A private buyer who remains unnamed, bought the glasses almost before they were on the market and plans on keeping them as family heirlooms. And pricey ones at that! The pair cost the buyer $400,000 USD.
What are the most expensive eggs in the world?
Let us start off by saying that these eggs are not for eating.
Faberge eggs are the world's most expensive eggs.
In the 1880's Peter Carl Fabergé was commissioned by the Russian Czar Alexander to create an Easter gift for this wife, the Empress Marie.
Alexander's wife was so impressed that he commissioned a new egg every Easter until his death at which time his son Nicholas II continued the tradition.
Peter Carl Fabergé created a total of 57 eggs which are worth millions each.
In 2002 the Winter Egg sold to an anonymous buyer for a wallet breaking $9,579,500.00 USD.
The Winter Egg is made of Siberian rock crystal, more than 4,500 diamonds, and a platinum Easter basket with flowers in gold, garnets, and crystals.
The three most famous dunks in women's basketball history have been more special for their historical significance rather than their quality. jMFRfX4MY">Lisa Leslie's inaugural WNBA dunk and both Candace Parker's slam dunk contest winner and that jam from the NCAA Tournament were all fairly awkward-looking. They kind of looked like a dunk from that one kid in your middle school who could jam, but only barely so. Brittney Griner's dunks have no such issues.
The prep star was a YouTube sensation a few years back when video of her dunking in practice made the rounds. Now, the high school senior is jamming before games with even more authority:
Those dunks are the real thing. She's not barely getting rim, she's not throwing the ball through the hoop, she's sending it in, Jerome.
Griner will play next year for Baylor. Skeets speculated last year about her NBA potential, but in the near-term, expect to see big things from her and the Bears over the next four seasons. The last high school girls player that had national name recognition was Candace Parker, and I'd say her career turned out pretty well.
It's day two of the Yves Saint Laurent auction and the financial crisis doesn't appear to be keeping people from spending tens of millions of dollars for pieces of the collection.
A collector shelled out $28,341,909 for a chair today. Yes, a chair. The estimate for the piece was between $2,587,711 - $3,881,567, about $25 million below what someone actually paid.
On Monday night the auctionset sales records for Brancusi, Mondrian and Matisse works. See the price list here for more shocking evidence of who's playing the fiddle while Rome burns.
Other than having a bit of a headache, a Kansas City woman was uninjured after a bullet fired at her ended up tangled in her hair weave. Police said the 20-year-old woman was in a convenience store parking lot late Wednesday when a man flagged her down and told her that her ex-boyfriend still loved her.
She replied, "Well I dont love him," then heard gunshots. She said she looked behind the vehicle and saw her ex-boyfriend firing a handgun at her. She stomped her accelerator and fled, then turned into another parking lot and called police.
$2.5 million. Two. Point. Five. Million. Dollars. That's what some idiot is going to pay for what could be the most expensive iPhone mod ever, the iPhone 3G "Kings Button".
Why oh why people would like to pay for this horror, this pinnacle of bad taste deep fried in 18-carat yellow gold and 160 diamonds, with a huge 6.6-carat diamond as a home button? And why is it called "Kings Button"?
Whoever buys it, please call us, fly us to your palace, and let us slap your face. Then, please invite us to a two year vacation in your yacht and we will forgive you. Maybe.
