Diamonds are forever-you could be too -- "A Chicago company says it has developed a process for turning cremated human remains into diamonds that can be worn as jewelry." (Comments: At first I thought this was really stupid. But, I have thought it over. Seems like an interesting idea, especially if you are planning on getting cremated. However, I wouldn't want to be turned into jewelry. That is a bit too bizarre.)

 

  

Reader Comments...
 

said he has spent the past three years refining the process, successfully making a diamond from cremated human remains in July.

Yechhh. I pity the people whose remains were sacrificed during the three years of testing. Or did he test with simulated human remains? What passes for human ash? Burnt newspapers? Or maybe BBQ'd roadkill?

Brings a whole new meaning to the cockney phrase - 'diamond geezer'.
