There is a recently discovered planet orbiting a neutron star 4000 light-years away that is made out of diamond. It's material is composed of carbon, and being sort of a white dwarf star (classified as a planet, having lost 99.9% of its mass) it is extremely dense. With all that pressure the carbon crystallizes, and as a result forms diamond.

vizwiz123 : I know you posted the poisonous snakes thing last December, but it reminded me of this one.

There are no "poisonous" snakes at all. Any toxic snake is venomous, which is very different from poisonous. 

Unlike poison, venom only harms you if it enters your blood stream. So you can actually drink a glass of snake venom, and experience no harmful effects.
