The Vultures Were Waiting

That sounds like a movie starring Charlton Heston.

Your body parts will go straight into the bio-hazard waste bin. Too much herpes and hepatitis running around your brain, boy. Bwuahahaha!

That's alright... 'bout the time you figure it out, you'll realize that they won't be using anything you have to offer.

Maybe they're like the chromium that turns alumina into ruby?

But that *is* the composition of a ruby. It's crystallized aluminum oxide (alumina) with a small fraction (1% or so) of chromium for 'red'.

No matter how you slice, dice and bake it you need carbon to make a diamond... because it's carbon. That is, unless you can transmute atoms or someone invents a practical energy-mass converter.

So if they're making diamonds from cremation ash then a logical conclusion is there must be some carbon content remaining.

Yellow diamond is comparatively easy to make as nitrogen impurities give it the yellow colour and hard to avoid with the current diamond making technology. At least they can now make near gem grade stones - industrial synthetic diamonds are black with graphitic impurities.

No. The logical conclusion is that they are a bunch of con artists preying on the vulnerable newly bereaved.

The ash is mostly calcium from bones and a handful of trace elements. If they can make pure carbon out of that then they are very clever indeed. And you do need very pure carbon to make a decent gem diamond.

100kg human contains 1.5kg calcium (30% more weight as ash), 100g sodium, 50g magnesium and 4g iron a few other essential elements. Any carbon remaining in the ash would be as carbonate and most of it would come from the surrounding atmosphere as the ashes cooled.

No. Like any other spammer, they get the information the old fashined way: They steal it.

I just noticed, It says, "Free Prepaid Cremation" It can't be Free and Prepaid, but it can be free to you, and prepaid by someone else. Anyone with a large insurance policy on you? Any chance they want to burn the evidence before authorities have a chance to look at it? Inquiring minds want to know! Mikek PS. Maybe a little to much time spent watching detective/crime shows. :-)

Nah - IRS doesn't believe in ghosts, because they have no souls. =:-O

Or either buy a list of "known buyers" for $50~100/1000 names/addys.

Although these days, clickers are so rampant, they're probably worth about $1/1000.
