If you hover over the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl[^] you get different options.
Cool stuff.

Ever notice that ubiquitous “I’m feeling lucky” button on the Google homepage that you've probably never used. What if I told you that this small little piece of grey rectangle, costs Google over 110 million dollars a year!
That’s right! What this button effectively does, is that it takes the user directly to the top search result for that query thereby bypassing all the other top 9 results and also the ads that get displayed alongside them. Brin was recently quoted as saying that almost 1% of all Google searches go through the “I’m feeling lucky” button and that costs the company around $110 million in annual revenue.

That's kinda cool! Though I'm not too keen on the idea of my wife showing off all of her late husbands at sometime in the distant future: "...and here's my late husband Nick, and here's my late husband George, and here's my late husband Bob...he turned out to be a big one didn't he!"

Nick, you haven't married a serial killer have you?

For example, people who have been treated with chemotherapy usually wind up being diamonds of lighter colors. /i>
That is quite fascinating.

Well, ok, but I'm not sure how this is some kind of 'green' thing though. The corpse has already been transformed to carbon (no doubt with the release of copious greenhouse gases in the process) so the service does nothing in itself to spare the land needed for burial. And then it adds a further dollop of greenhouse emissions rearranging the carbon atoms at high temperatures and pressures over a period of months.

What irks me the most is if we stopped putting people in leak-proof everlasting coffins and marking graves with elaborate tombstones, there would BE no cemetery problem

To spend exorbitant amounts of money to convert cremated remains into a trinket for someone to carry around.
There isn't anything earth shattering in this process. We are basically Carbon, Diamonds are basically Carbon. The difference is density. People may call you dense now, so you may be part way on the way. Note that the expense increases the size of the diamond. Since reducing the density would make the carbon "not diamond", it implicitly does not convert "you" into a diamond, just part of you and the rest is dumped unless huge amounts of money is spent. Since some people are smaller than others, it implies that some diamonds may only be partly you and some other carbon.
Diamonds are NOT forever, they can burn just like other carbon sources can. Now carbon on the other hand...

Huh, the next entry is about human re-use, but instead uses the H2O in still living people's excess material. You'd think it would be easier to recover it from the excess that comes out the front.

With the Janicki Omniprocessor, the Gates Foundation thinks it's found the best way to do it, converting sewer sludge into water, electricity, and sterile ash that can be used as fertilizer. Next, let's see him eat something made out of old versions of Windows.

Do you have any idea what can we do out of old versions of Windows? I can't imagine. Sometimes even new versions of Windows are useless...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

What strikes me much more about that video is how old Bill is getting. He looks like someones grandfather now.

I know, I saw him the other day and I was like, "Bill! Dude! what is going on? Seems like I was just using Win 3.1 the other day."
