As you can see from the pictures, this jail's architecture puts it among the beautiful and elegant buildings, and it does'nt end over there, this jail is world's most luxurious jail with almost a feel of a hotel.

* World's Most Expensive Pen - Mystery Masterpiece.



The Limited Edition Mystery Masterpiece, a joint creation between Mont blanc and Van Cleef & Arpels, is the most expensive writing pen ever created.

Cost - $730,000!

Trivia - This amazing pen is truly a masterpiece of the jeweler's art. Each pen has 840 diamonds and more than 20 carats of gemstones set in a Van Cleef & Arpels patented "Mystery Setting" that conceals the stone settings. A groove is made on the culet, the bottom facet of the stone, which is then slid onto the threads of the lattice design so that the stones can be held in place side by side without any visible support. There are three variations, set either with rubies, sapphires or emeralds, and accented by diamonds. The three variations of these marvelous pens are limited to three releases each for a total of nine. The unique work took over a year and a half to create by skilled artisans.

* World's Most Expensive Burger - The Burger, Burger King

Trivia - Hot on the heels of Wall Street Burger, surprisingly enough, is Burger King. Yes, this monolithic fast food giant has decided to live up to its name by producing the world’s most expensive burger. Simply called “The Burger,” this costly hamburger is available only at a West London branch of the restaurant. Luckily for those among you who’ll be taking your private jets to Burger King for lunch, The Burger can be pre-ordered by phone so you needn’t wait.


* World's Smallest Art - Nano Art



Artist - J Sha teamed with ARmark Authentication Technologies, LLC in Pennsylvania.

Specifications - 40 microns tall with features as small as 250 nanometers, Fish is smaller than a spec of dust and 1/8th the width of a strand of hair.

Trivia - Fish was created using nanoentonography, a new process developed by the artist for ARmark to safeguard products and brands from counterfeiting. The ARmark authentication system works by incorporating microscopic layers of covert markers to create brand-owner specific information into products. There are up to eight different levels of security that can be applied to these covert markers that are mere microns wide. With infinite possibilities for unique coding (shapes, colors, numbers and patterns) the product is impossible to replicate.
Nanotechnology could soon create an art gallery full of art that nobody can see not even the artists who created it.

Fish is the first of several works and commissions to be created in 2007.
