On this day... 2004 seems to have had more than its share of extremely large eclectica: on this day, not quite a week after the aforementioned whale explosion, Harvard scientists discovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat diamond floating through space. And no, I didn't accidentally repeat the word "trillion" in that last sentence. The diamond is located in the heart of a dead star in the constellation Centaurus. It's a testament to the lack of common sense in the scientific community that they couldn't have waited one more day to announce their find, or just sold the advertizing rights to Zales. Lots more money for research, guys!
