Some crazy ghouls have figured out a macabre marketing concept that
they hope rich people with more money than brains will snap up, taking
10 strands of Ludwig van Beethoven's hair and somehow turning them into
a trio of half-carat fake diamonds. They extracted the carbon from the
composer's hair, exposed it to temperatures approximating the depths of
hell, and then stomped it down with a million pounds of pressure for a
couple of weeks. After cutting and polishing their concoction, they had
three blue "diamonds" sized at .56 carats. They hope one of these
baubles will sell for $1 million on eBay.
