| Hey.
what's crackilakin?
ya same here.
no way.
oh no she didn't.
she did?!
i can't believe that.
just kidding...
can you tell im bored.
i'm sick again..
i hardly ever get sick.
my immune system is pretty
strong but i guess i need to
restock on vitamams n' stuff.
it feels like there's a ball of
barbed wire down my throat.
not that i've ever experienced that...
i was reading this article on yahoo
about his ginormous diamond the
other day..one of the biggest diamonds
ever found, number 20 i think.
here's the article:
LONDON (AFP) - Gem Diamonds, a London-listed mining firm, said on
Sunday it had recovered a 478 carat diamond from its mine in Lesotho:
the 20th-largest rough diamond ever found.
The discovery of the gem, which the company said had the potential to
become one of the largest round-cut diamonds in the world, was made on
September 8 at the Letseng mine in Lesotho.
"Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that
it will yield a record-breaking polished stone of the very best colour
and clarity," the company's Chief Executive Clifford Elphick said in a
statement.
The diamond, which has not yet been named, has the potential to yield a 150 carat polished stone, a company spokesman said.
That would be far bigger than the 105 carat round-cut Koh-i-Noor
diamond seized by Britain from India in the 19th century and now part
of the Crown Jewels.
It would still only be a fraction of the size, however, of the Cullinan diamond
discovered in 1905, which was 3,106 carats when recovered and yielded a
teardrop shaped diamond of 530 carats: the Great Star of Africa.
The Letseng mine is owned by a mining company that is 70 percent
owned by Gem Diamonds, with the remaining 30 percent held by the
Lesotho government.
Gem Diamonds's share price on the London Stock Exchange was 741.50 pence at the close of trading on Friday. here's a picture of another diamond.
Makes me think of how some of the world's poorest countries has
all these riches. not just diamonds
either, they have some amazing resources. I watched this
video about the Lake Victoria water troubles. they can't
even get fish to eat because of the dam and weird weather
conditions that are shrinking up the lake. depressing.
here we are complaining about gas money and others
can't even have decent meals..i wanna help, NO, I will
help. my teacher was reading an article about how this
kid was trying to escape this malignant slave owner and
was caught, beaten, and put back to work. he said he could
feel the flies feeding off of his bare flesh. (from the beatings)
20 US dollars could buy a whole family..it was so sad to think
of.
nough with depressing stuff..
here's a funny story i found from dysan. who ever created dysan is my hero!
Thank you !!!!!
I just want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the
past year. Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a
paper towel.
I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the
last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.
I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what
has happened on it since it was last washed.
I can't enjoy lemon slices in my tea or on my seafood anymore because
lemon peels have been found to contain all kinds of nasty germs
including feces.
I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because
the number one pass-time while driving alone is picking your nose
(although cell phone usage may be taking the number one spot)
Eating a Little Debbie sends me on a guilt trip because I can only
imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.
I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor
of a public bathroom. Yuck!
I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in
the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every
envelope that needs sealing.
Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same
reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny
Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive
the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for
participating in their special e-mail program.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking
out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant
freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a
water buffalo on a hot day.
Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I
forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five
minutes.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can
remove toilet stains.
I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the
car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping
gas.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these
products are atheists who refuse to put 'Under God' on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the
microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me
for life.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be
pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a
perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually
Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our
American troops or the Salvation Army.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a
number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda
& Singapore and Uzbekistan .
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have
their recipe.
Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown
African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when
it bites my butt.
And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped in
the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester
waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas
companies!
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70
minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM
this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back,
causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it
actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's
ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...
Have a wonderful day...
Oh, by the way.....
A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has
discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their
e-mail with their hand on the mouse.
Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.
good thing my mactop doesn't have a mouse!
