Record gold prices = doom for Hong Kong's Golden Throne

Record gold prices may spell doom for Hong Kong's Golden Throne

With gold once again nudging the $1000 per ounce mark, Hong Kong jewelry dealer Hang Fung's famous solid gold throne might be melted down and turned into something more sellable. The world's poshest potty is said to be worth a cool $32 million, quite the golden flush. While I'm pretty sure nobody has actually used the loo for it's intended purpose, I think it would be best if they didn't advertise the source of the gold once it's turned into bullion.
