2008 - The 100% Golden Year!

"What day is today, honey?" "I don't know, some dude stole my golden calendar!" This makes no sense, does it? Well, for the ones that can really afford one of these, it shouldn't come as a surprise at all. The Japanese really know how to live like Hollywood brats. They have recently introduced a brand new shiny calendar, made of 100% pure gold. It shines, it's heavy and it tells the date.

Besides the possibility of seeing it in 50 Cent's new music video, I can imagine a couple of moguls hanging one of these exclusivist dandy accessories in their bathroom, right next to their iPod Jacuzzi. What I don't like is the "Tale of Genji" set of printed images they used as a background of the calendar.

Quite dull, for such an eccentric stuff. Regarding the calendar's technical specs, you should just know that it measures 67 cm x 42cm and weighs�6 kilos!? Oh my, you could feed an entire nation if you sell 6 kilos of pure gold. So I guess this is one thing you won't be able to ask Santa to bring you for Christmas.

[IMG=2]If you make a simple calculation to find out the value of this calendar, you'll see that it's actually estimated at 173.732 bucks, after conversion. And if we take into account the fact that gold prices have soared recently, you could actually get one for no less than 260.000 bucks.

I don't even what to think that you could get an Audi R8 for this kind of money and still have some change for an iPhone. Still, if this calendar proves to be a crap in design line, you can always melt in down and turn it into good old fashioned jewelry. After all, it is only useful for a year� the golden year!
