WHY? Whats the point?

Completely true. Not only semi-true.

They do it by putting the ahses under immense heat and pressure inside the machine.

It's gotta be true too...the BBC have done an article on it! *ghostly "woooooooh" noise thingy*

If you really think about it, it could work. Thats how rocks are actually made, just add 5 million years.

Maybe they should try it with plants and shit and make crude oil =\

Doesn't it take... you know... millions of years of heat and pressure to turn something into a diamond. How would they do it so quickly?

With tons of pressure, apparently.

Those machines must have to be extremely strong to be able to form, and take that much pressure.

Just imagine what would happen if they weren't...

KA-BOOM!!!

No, the last thing we want is are more fossil fuels. I'm not one of those crazy hippies, but fossil fuels are really fucking up the ice caps.
