Want to spoil your girlfriend with
diamonds while impressing her with your
scientific knowledge? Here's how. Baby,
we've been together a long time, and
I've picked up on your hints. I know
that you want a diamond,
but I was thinking you're too special to
me for just one diamond.
I want to give you one and a half
million diamonds
per second.
And not only that, they're nano
diamonds.
Really?
Yeah. Isn't that great? Nano diamonds.
You are a fool.
Now is the perfect time to tell her that
scientists have recently discovered nano
diamonds in the flames of ordinary
candles. Millions of them. As the
hydrocarbon wax is burned, diamonds form
in the middle of the flame.
What? They're the exact same as regular
diamond, just really, really small. You
always told me size doesn't matter.
Are you packing?
I should have listened to my mother.
Actually, as it turns out, the nano
diamonds are burnt up in the flame and
released into the atmosphere as carbon
dioxide. So, you're probably better off
getting a big diamond. Otherwise, your
relationship, like the nano diamonds,
will go up in smoke.
