Solid gold so heavy it wobbles

We Call it Soccer has been dropping some good posts on the World Cup ticket goof-ups. US Soccer blew it. Again.

And because you weren't wondering, you do get your country's name engraved on the bottom of the trophy in case you win.

It's only 36 centimetres high, but full of solid, 18-carat gold weighing about 4,970 grams. Today, that’s worth about $97,000, were it to be melted down. Which happened once.
