Now that I just find really sick and disturbing. I would never turn my friend Matt into a diamond. Take him to Translevania and leave him in Dracula's castle, sure but turn him into a diamond! He would haunt my ass forever if I did that.

There's a way to do it with pet hair, as well. When Tippy died (RIP, pretty girl), I had my parents save enough of her fur so that perhaps, eventually, I can have it made into a chocolate or canary diamond. Happy

The Fact: The most expensive coffee in the world comes from civet poop

Kopi Luwak are coffee beans that come from Civet (a cat sized mammal) poo. The animals gorge on only the finest ripe berries, and excrete the partially-digested beans, which are then harvested for sale. Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $120 and $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and United States, but it is increasingly becoming available elsewhere.
I like the author of this would like to know who found out it taste good.ummm

Myth: Margarine is 1 molecule away from plastic

Americans eat four times as much margarine as butter every year which seems surprising considering so many people believe this little myth about the chemical spread. While much of the negative stuff we hear about margarine is true, this particular myth is not. Margarine is made by heating vegetable oil and infusing it with hydrogen – in other words saturating it to a point that it remains hard at room temperature. It is then mixed with other ingredients to give a white lump that resembles fat. Yellow food coloring is added and voila – we have margarine. There is not one molecule of anything that you could add to margarine to turn it into plastic.

Interesting Fact: Margarine was invented because Emperor Louis Napoleon III of France offered a prize in 1869 for anyone that could come up with a cheap butter alternative for the army and the lower classes. Hippolyte Mège-Mouriés (a French chemist) won the prize with his oleomargarine. Governments around the world tried to stop people from using margarine by putting heavy taxes on it and banning its coloring. Believe it or not, it is still illegal to sell butter-colored margarine in Missouri [source] and it was illegal in Quebec until July 2008 [source].

Diabeties runs in my family, so I have to be really careful, I also am a sugar addict.
You would have to go in for bloodwork to find out if your diabetic. They make you fast (not eat for 12 hours) then they give you a sugar drink and take your blood every hour to see how your body is processing the sugar.
I get low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) all the time. Out of nowhere, even if I have eaten recently, all of the sudden I feel so hungry it feels like I havent eaten in a week, I get really weak and I get kinda dizzy and a cold sweat and feel like passing out.

I think its a sign that I have to eat better foods or I will develop diabeties like the rest of my family.
I was pretty close to developing gestational diabeties with this pregnancy, but I just barely passed my blood test. I don't know if I could give myself a needle everyday ewwwwww
