Real-Life Weirdness

And something for modern games in general:

Three Chinese men ...came across a lump of shiny metal in a scrapyard in Bishkek, in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan, last year. Attracted by its shiny surface and its “gold sparkle”, they haggled the dealer down to a price of $2,000 (£1,135) for what both sides regarded as a treasure but neither could identify.

It was 274kg of depleted uranium.
