Caveat emptor
Speaking of dimwits in the service of a Dark Ages rape manual (and the modestly dressed women who love them), now is the time to trick out your old sewing machines on eBay. The Saudis are buying.*
Saudi police say they are investigating a hoax that has seen people rushing to buy old-fashioned sewing machines for up to $50,000 (£33,500). The Singer sewing machines are said to contain traces of red mercury, a substance that may not exist.
Note how the BBC is hedging its bets on Red Mercury. Just "asking questions" again, I expect.
* And by "Saudis are buying" I mean "we are buying". There isn't a red cent they spend on anything that did not come out of our pockets. Including nineteen one way airplane tickets.
