I thought that writing about something a little more entertaining that deals with space, place, and scale would be a great addition to this blog! This article is based on a man named Lefkos Hajji who decided that he was ready to propose to his loving girlfriend. He thought that he had a great idea when he placed the engagement ring inside the space of a balloon filled with helium. He thought that getting his girlfriend to pop the balloon as soon as he popped the question would be romantic and unique. What he did not think of was what could happen after he placed that extremely expensive ring in the helium filled balloon. The second Lefkos left the store where he purchased the balloon and had the ring already placed inside, the balloon floated into the air. Instead of his plan following through, and proposing to his girlfriend at a specific place that he planned ahead of time, the $12,000 dollar ring floated away to a place that was unknown.
The man who lost the ring stated, "I just watched as it went further and further," he told the Sun newspaper. "I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."
He tried to chase down the balloon and see where it was headed to but after a while he couldn't spot it. Even though he did just loose a ring that cost $12,000 his girlfriend was upset with him and said that she wouldn't forgive him unless he bought her another ring!
