It's a few atoms thick and is fun stuff to work with. Since it tears if you look at it funny you pick it up with a wide, thin, flat, natural bristle brush using static. You apply a sticky resin or adhesive to the object and lay the sheets on and then burnish them to get some of the wrinkles and bubbles out. The stuff is also edible and makes for an impressive and expensive topping for chocolate cake.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/

Gold leaf is fun to work with, but ends up... everywhere lol]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/its 151.00 Euro, and thats not a whole lot, atleast not as much as the xbox360. Germany along with a few other european nations, like spain, replace the "." in numbers with ",".

Anyway, 151 euro is about $188.70 USD.
so nearly $39 more then an average xbox.

Itīs made by an Austrian! These crazy motherfuckers!
Germans would never, NEVER intend to cause such a visual pain to an innocent eye.
They (i.e. we) might have some strange obsession for acustic pain since they bought millions of David Hasselhoff CDs a decade ago but thatīs really all you can blame them for (ok, there was this WWII thing but who remembers THAT anyway?).

Germans are good, Austrians are bad.
Is as simple as that.
Itīs like "America is good, Iraq is bad."
See? Should be easy to remember, donīt you think?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/27/ebay-of-the-day-24-carat-gold-plated-xbox/worse look at the pictures on ebay its eay to tell its not real look at all the gold scraps siting around the xbox, they also
