LOL there was a guy working at the gold mine here in Johannesburg  well time came for his retirement and so did the time come to renovate his office for the new guy anyway to cut a long story short they found that the door stopper was very heavy after investigation they found out that it was a bar of gold that he had used. What had happened was the painter painted the door stopper the same color as the office you can imagine that after 50 years the bar of gold no longer resembled one but rather a blob of paint (I wish that I were the painter)
