Ebay says maybe $10.... or maybe not since there's not bids yet.

Dang, I was hoping it was a story about finding new populations of the very endangered real pink (that is, not from albinism) river dolphin species - particularly in China which I think have been tentatively labeled as extinct.

But that is a pretty cool coloring. Though these get from the Amazon get pretty close (and we got to see some in an animal show in Singapore):

Gulp! She swallowed her own engagement ring
Woman’s boyfriend hid it in milkshake to propose; happily, the crisis passed

Quote:

A lot of guys try to come up with proposal scenarios that their girlfriends will remember forever. So give Reed Harris credit for accomplishing that goal — even if it turned out to be in don’t-try-this-at-home fashion.

The idea was a variation on a common theme: Put the ring in a drink and let his beloved discover it. Harris did his part, hiding the ring in a Wendy’s Frosty milkshake. But, as he and his girlfriend, Kaitlin Whipple, told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Monday in New York, she ate the entire shake and never found the ring.

I like this line:

Quote:

"It arrived this morning and I have never been so excited about my bodily functions."

The rest of the story.

You realize of course you're about a month early for April 1st. Right?

(referring to the beer drinking thing.)
