scott not scot [quote]BringMeMyFix Actually, I prefer eating chocolate-covered coffee beans. I'm considering them as on-the-bike sustenance.
I made the mistake of eating 3 bags of them in one day once....damn....it was like shitting diamonds![/quote]
I was going to write a short story once about someone who discovers a diamond in their microwave. Turns out that some cheese left uncleaned in the back corner for years had undergone a sort of accelerated carbonization from being cooked so many times. I was toying with the idea of getting the protagonist to experiment with different types of cheese, and possibly create assorted precious stones eg. Danish Blue would make a sapphire, and so on.
Unfortunately I had the idea at the time I gave up writing fiction, but it's something to get on with when I've retired :)
