Gee, I recall a program on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or TLC (I can’t remember which) that showed how little stone had to be recut to make the Hope Diamond from the Great Blue.

However, since the diamond was put in the care of the Smithsonian Institute, there have been no unusual incidents related to it. Maybe the curse just takes longer to kill an entire nation. 1958 - 2008 ... 50 years in our nation's possession.

We must give it back to the French. It has a curse on it you know. Our nation hasn’t been worth a hoot since we got that rock. Let the French Have it or better yet—give it back to India where it once adorned a heathen Idol.
