Doing these medical trials means i spend hours reading newspapers.

This last 2 days I've been enjoying coverage of the 'run' on the Northern Rock bank and the news that a lock of Beethovens Hair has been compressed into a diamond and is now available for sale on ebay...

Yes boss, the word is that there's a guy in the US who has a $5 million dollar collection of celebrity hair. Mr Reznikoff's collection includes hair from such figures as Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy and Beethoven.

Now, not content with his hair collection in it's pure form, Mr Reznikoff has commissioned Life Gem to make a DIAMOND out of Beethovens hair...

Seriously - this is not a joke (or at least I don't think it is)

So, here's the details:
