Damned females getting all the jobs! Or something.
Dogs.
Roman tile floor found in Turkey.
Russia has a huge site of diamonds... enough to flood the world with sparklies. And drop the bottom out of the diamond business....
Put a burka on it!
Soon, EVERYONE will have a giant marble to run their electronics, their house, their car.....
The Bible is more violent than the Koran.

Avast, right-wing conspiracy!
I'll have to wait until The Hobbit comes out on dvd. I still cannot negotiate the interior of a movie theater with any degree of safety. :-(
Yeah, it's the way we watch 99% of our movies now. We make better popcorn anyway...
Some time ago DeBeers had long conversations with the Russian diamond people about 'how rare diamonds are' and they suddenly became rare in the market.
Russia has always had a huge supply of diamonds, and has used smaller jewelry level diamonds for industrial purposes. Russia is the single, best source for colored diamonds, primarily pinks and blues, and they are in evidence in the crown jewels of the Tsars and the jewels of the Orthodox Church.
Don't expect prices to drop a great deal because 'diamonds are rare', which is why they are so expensive.
Exactly, Bryan. I've been aware of this for a while... that DeBeers keeps a stranglehold on the amount of diamonds available so that the prices never drop.
Nice cabal they have going there. Diamonds are NOT a girl's best friend...but gold bars maybe? Nah... property? uhhh... oh well.
Back to planning my winter garden...
I bought and viewed the Rings trilogy on dvd, and always felt it might have been better in a theater. "Dark" films usually are.
Still, I will complete the set with The Hobbit, and yes, I am grateful to have some way of seeing it at all.
On good days, my popcorn beats theater popcorn, though that's a recent development. I remember theater popcorn when I was a kid...
*sigh* That popcorn was real... not genetically modified, and the butter was from real cows... the delicious bon bons were filled with ice cream without chemicals... those were the days.
