You know the sort. Stuff you know but is absolutely pointless. Like:

A blue moon is the second full moon in the same month, as there are 13 full moons in one year the blue moon happens once a year.

And apparently Isaac Newton died having never slept with anyone.

So share with us all your useless information.

    Diamonds are really worhtless - There's a family called the De Beers that own a valley full of millions and millions of diamonds. They only release a few every year. It is in South Africa.

    Yeah i knew that one, a money making scheme to give the impression diamonds are rare.
    Diamonds are just carbon in its most concentrated form. That's it -- carbon, the element that makes up 18 percent of the weight of your body. In many countries, including the United States and Japan, there is no other gemstone as cherished as the diamond, but in truth, diamonds are no more rare than many other precious gems. They continue to demand higher market prices because the majority of the diamond market is controlled by a single entity.

    We will track a diamond from the time it is formed to when it reaches the Earth's surface. We will also examine the artificial rarity created by the diamond cartel, De Beers, and briefly discuss the properties of these gems.
