An Australian couple who picked up an odd-looking fatty lump from a quiet beach are in line for a cash windfall.
Leon Wright and his wife took home a 14.75kg lump of ambergris, found in the innards of sperm whales and used in perfumes after it has been vomited up.
Sought after because of its rarity, ambergris can float on the ocean for years before washing ashore.
Worth up to $20 a gram, Mr Wright's find on a South Australian beach could net his family US$295,000 (£165,300)
Hmmm sounds lovely

Ah yes. You're the one who advocates dropping sofas on poorly hamsters. I can see where your humour is coming from now. Bravo. My ribs ache from the laughter.

I'm so glad you have your sense of humour back. I've only ever done it with a Gerbil really................

Never lost it. I prefer Bill Hicks personally, but if fat jokes and dropping heavy objects on small furry creatures is your thing, well each to their own.
