I can't believe they really found it. I wonder how much he paid the workers. Hope they didn't work for free.

"But if your building incinerates trash, you're outta luck." I think a diamond ought to be able to withstand the heat of an incinerator.

Now now, picking on New Jersey for smelling like garbage is somewhat the pot calling the kettle black. Afterall, Staten Island -- which is both part of NYC (whether you like it or not) and where the idiot who threw away the ring is from -- is literally the world's largest garbage dump.

too bad. if that ring stayed in the trash it might have actually made this $50 worthwhile. i can't believe the crap people sell. i find it even more unbelievable that somebody would pay to recieve some "guaranteed authentic" nyc trash. check it... www.nycgarbage.com

If you think that NJ doesn't smell, you've got some serious olfactory problems! Sure, not all of it smells, but only around Turnpike exits and Secaucus. However, New York City is smelly in it's own right too, just like ever other city. Let's also not forget Staten Island as well. Let's face it, we're all surrounded by stink!

please please please please no more "new jersey smells" jokes; you're so much better than that. besides, i think that there are probably at least 100 more rats per person here in new york city than in jersey.
