Curse of the Lost Cheese
A Quebec cheese company has officially called off its search for the 800 kg hunk o'fromage it (intentionally) dropped into the Saguenay fjord. La Fromagerie Boivin estimates the lost-cheese at ~$50 000!
So....um...why store such prize-winning cheese in the water? Run out of room in the fridge? Nope, it's all very logical:
"Letting it sit 50 metres underwater was supposed to produce a cheese that would taste unique."
But alas, it was not meant to be:
"The company has given up hope of finding the cheese and is writing off its $50,000 value. "It got too expensive," said cheesemaker Luc Boivin. "At some point, you can't be crazy.""
No, no, you can't. Be crazy, that is :)

Oh NO! I saw the news story of the great fromage's submersion and was so looking forward to a slice, no matter how pricey. A taste of lactose history that no one could deny...
Alack. Alas. Let us hope the cheese is one day retrieved intact. Lost cheese is no laughing matter. I once misplaced a slice of edam and it cost me weeks of sleep.
