      <![CDATA[I think Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords called this one...<br />
<br />
When their manager Murray buys the band three stars, for $50 each, for their investment portfolio - he speculates that they could all move up there in 10 years' time...<br />
<br />
Murray: "Imagine a planet full of coal. You get up there, oh my God, it's coal everywhere. Imagine how much that would be worth."<br />
<br />
Bret: "What about a planet of, um, diamonds and rubies?"<br />
<br />
Murray: "Well, it would be nice. A lot of things would be nice, Bret, particularly if they were real."

      <![CDATA[Doesnt suprise me as people have found meteorites that contained diamond.  Didnt look anything like a raw diamond, looked more like a cookie sheet filled with burned marshmellows, but that alone told scientists that diamond could be fabricated into any shape you want.  This will pave the way for diamond circuits and radios that just kick the crap out of anything we use today.
