Astronomers discover planet made of diamond

Post by NeverMore » Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:25 am

.
(Reuters) - Astronomers have spotted an exotic
planet that seems to be made of diamond racing
around a tiny star in our galactic backyard.

Why, oh why, can't they discover a planet made of bacon?

So that's the question... what would you want your planet made of?

Hmmmmmm Bacon....the candy of meats :)

My Planet would be made of Burgers and Steaks I think hee hee...and instead of water there would be oceans of chocolate milk, rivers of Mountain Dew and lakes of rum and coke hee hee LOL.

Well, here's the bad news. The reason why diamonds are worth so much, is because they are rare. You don't find them anywhere and everywhere. For that reason, if we had an entire planet that was made up of diamond, diaomnds would be quite common, and as a result, worthless.

Omg Andybev, you almost killed me laughing.

What about a planet made out of weed? But I have to go with Minite Shadows planet. Got room for one more?

Midnite Shadow, if you don't answer me soon I'll have to start an invasion. I already got the saucers all revved up.

I'm sorry Dead Man, every time I read your name I think it's an erection joke.

Cool article, space fascinates the cr@p outta me.

That works out pretty well 'cause space is so vast and you can be full of it now & then. 8)
