Do you own an old sewing machine? If so, now would be a brilliant time to take a trip to Saudi Arabia and con some people out of some money!

Since people will believe anything if it comes through completely unverifiable sources like a mate of a mate of a mate of their dog, a rumour has been able to spread like wildfire than old sewing machines contain an uber-precious element which will make them rich. Somehow.

The claim is that the old machines contain ‘red mercury’ – a substance which doesn’t exist – and that it has ‘magical’ properties. What properties, I hear you say? Well, things such as finding treasure, making the person rich in general, ridding people of evil spirits and – get this – making a nuke.

Some of these machines are going for up to $50,000 while others are being stolen from shops during break-ins. I myself have an old sewing machine lying around, and i think $50k would more than cover the cost of the flight ticket to Saudi Arabia. I have me a plan…

Oh, but there is one more humourous twist: people are using their mobile phones as red mercury gauges. They think that holding them up near the blessed machines somehow tells them if the non-existant material is contained within. Not entirely sure how it notifies them though, I guess that is a mystery for another day.
