#2 52 tons of coke and 3 islands. Sounds like paradise. In other news, police in Iowa seized 320 tons of soybeans and corn and 500,000 acres of farmland.

#4 52 tons of coke?! Either the street price skyrockets, it doesn't make it to the evidence locker, we are even more behind in the war on drugs than I suspected or all three.

#5 52 Tons. Apparently the street price right now is about $170 per gram. Somebody do the math.

#9 What great news! I bet the FARC is in the middle of contingency management wondering how they will finance their war. Hope this hurts.
