Chinese man swallows diamond — turns out it’s fake

A crazy diamond saga in Sri Lanka has taken an unexpected twist.  Last week, a Chinese man, Chou Wan, was arrested in Sri Lanka after he swallowed a 1.5 carat diamond at a gem fair.  Well, after authorities gave the guy laxatives and dug through his poop, experts then discovered the rock was a fake.  Apparently, there was another Chinese dude with Chou who is now suspected to have the real diamond, worth $13,000.

All I gotta say is, I would hate to be part of that diamond “excavation” team!  Blech!
