Turning something of MJ's into a diamond is totally something out of Footballers' Wive$, yet I feel he it's something he would completely approve of--both the diamond and the reference to the insane BBC soap opera.
@Sarah Dove: Well, as it says in the article, it was more like 80 signs. Still pretty funny, but not as funny as this: Unrelated, Wauwatosa is the Potawatomi word for firefly.
...Um, Margaret? 80 stop signs were changed to read "Stop Voldemort" in a 45,000 population town. Changing that many stop signs would really take some wizardly prowess.
@MeganGlass 就是一个古代的三明治: I know, it's SO fitting. It's like the most perfect piece of news I've ever read. Like, of course they would make diamonds out of a 25 year old piece of Michael Jackson's hair- what else would they do with it?
@NellMood: When my grandpa died, grandma for a while considered turning his ashes into a gem and making a necklace or ring out of him which is apparently also possible. She felt he didn't buy her enough jewelry when he was alive so it was going to be her way of amending that.
@NellMood: Yeah, anything carbon-rich can be turned into a diamond. It is gross and amazing, all at the same time. I recently read about two sisters who lost their dad to cancer when they were 8 and 10 years old, and the family had his ashes made into two lemon-yellow diamonds for the girls to keep, and wear if they wanted to.
I know. Totally icky, and yet strangely lovely. But seriously, lab-created diamonds are fucking cool. You can even make diamonds out of peanut butter. Apparently all the nitrogen in them makes 'em come out emerald green. Awesome, eh?
