Anyway might as well give some additional information. Diamond is less stable then coal is and they are both 100% carbon. The reason diamond doesn't just turn into coal is because it needs a very high activation energy in order to turn it into one (even though it is less stable) which is most likely the number you said that is needed.

Did you know after a US ship "accidently" bombed an Iranian commercial airliner with 142 people on board during the Gulf war, president Bush stated 2 weeks later that, "I will never apologize for anything that the US did". To this day no one has apologized to the Iranian govt. but a hefty paycheck was given to them to make them shut up.

Nope.
Yep. Dissected one.

Anthony Quinn's performance as painter Paul Gaugin in Lust for Life (1956) is the shortest ever to win an Academy Award. He was on screen for only 8 minutes.


This awards are so damn stupid.

The Bic pen was named after its French Inventor Marcel Bich. However they decided to drop the 'H' from the name fearing that the American market might pronounce the name 'Bitch'.

Did you know that the UK surprisingly enough as a very poor 5 year cancer survival rate compared to other western countries? The US has the best survival rate for breast and prostate cancers while if you're Japanese you're most likely to survive colon cancer. Very odd imo.

Its probably cuz of the diets.

Depends on which school he dropped out of.
Bill Gates is a school drop-out as well, but he dropped out of Harvard, so that's not exactly very encouraging, lol :'D

This is the Did You Know.....

Things You Probably Didn't Know Your Mobile Phone Could Do

First - The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself Out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

Second - Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a mobile phone: If you lock your keys in the car And the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone. Hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door and have the Person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car Over a mobile phone!'

Humanoid Factoid:

The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Your thumb is the same length as your nose

Why would u wan to know this fact?

The 3 most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca-Cola, and Budweiser, in that orde

All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20.

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.

A dime has 118 ridges around the edge.
