That's torn it: Tycoon puts elbow through $139m Picasso
A US casino mogul has pulled out of a deal to sell his Picasso painting for a record $139m (�74m) after accidentally elbowing a hole in the middle...
Mr Wynn, known for gesturing with hands while speaking, was showing the painting at his office at Wynn Las Vegas when he struck it with his right elbow

Doh!
Apparently, the Turkish PM was recently rushed to hospital after falling unconsciuos ... on arrival both bodyguards jumped out at the same time leaving the unconscious PM locked inside a high security vehicle ... they had to drill their way back in!
Has this been in the news? |

Has his fainting got anything to do with fasting? Last week the Palastinian leader also fainted?
Never mind we can sleep easily as Gul is in charge

| Quote: |
British writers of the 19th century and very early 20th century sometimes referred to the Arabs of Palestine as "Philistines". This was apparently not due to a belief in a strong connection with the ancient Philistines, but merely reflects the former convention that "Philistine" simply denotes "native of Palestine".
