To think there are stars in the sky sparkling like diamonds, because that is exactly what they are. That is some surreal shit!

Oops, sorry. On further review, it appears to be cubic zirconia. That's just as good, right? I mean, it's not like anyone can tell the difference...

It's old news. Little kids have known about this for generations.

"Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky ....."

Meanwhile back on Earth, toss a diamond necklace in the fire and discover diamond's one sobering weakness. To be more precise, they will burn at temperatures commonly reached industrially in stoneware kilns.

As the planet reported orbits its sun once every 10 hours it must be in mighty close and mighty hot. I'm canceling my voyage to claim it.

Purple Gurl, hey there chick, ya know what I am thinking? I do hope that they don't deplete the diamond surface, cuz we sparks us it to light a charge for our space crafts. Not to mention all the cool mosiac art displayed all over our planet. You and I will have to monitor these Earthlings, are ya in?

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Capricorn

You feel like overindulging yourself in some way today, and why not? Throw caution to the wind and eat your way through a big bar of chocolate, or have a retail therapy session that leaves you reeling from the amount of money you've spent. There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
