DIAMONDS are forever, so the saying goes - but not in this case.
A court in Sri Lanka has convicted a Chinese man who swallowed a fake diamond at a jewellery exhibition in order to allow an accomplice to get away with the real thing.
The 32-year-old villain was arrested after a stallholder at the gem show alerted police, claiming he had taken a diamond from his stand and gulped it down.
He was taken to hospital and X-rayed, then given a strong dose of laxatives - but when he finally passed the offending gemstone three days later it was revealed to be a fake.
The accomplice is still on the run.
A SWEDISH brewery used people's love for cracking a cold beer in the shower as inspiration for their new product.
PangPang brewery's new 'Shower Beer' has been designed especially for drinking while under the shower head.
The brewer said the 'shower-sized' sweet but strong pale ale could be gulped in three sips while standing in the shower getting ready for a night out.
What's more the recipe was designed so that it could double as hair conditioner!
The first batch of the Shower Beer was available in Sweden only and sold out in just 10 minutes.
