No, I'm
not kidding!
It's not quite the goose that laid the golden egg, but an Indian diamond merchant's prize cow is producing bejeweled dung.
Dilubhai Rajput had stashed a bag of more than 1,700 small diamonds, worth almost $900, in a pile of hay at his home in Gujarat state, famous both for its dairy and diamond-cutting industries, but hadn't reckoned on the risk of a hungry cow, the Economic Times newspaper reported on Monday.
Now he's feeding the animal a diet of grass, grain, fruit and laxatives and has so far recovered 300 diamonds in three days.
"I am sure within a week I will retrieve all my diamonds," the paper quoted Rajput as saying.
What this cow poops comes out better than golden! It doesn't even need a spin-meister! Karl Rove, eat your heart out!
