The Telegraph is reporting on a diamond, made from bits of Beethoven, which is going to be stuck up for sale on eBay.

Apparently there’s this chap called John Reznikoff who collects celebrity hair. Well, he donated a lock of Beethoven’s to LifeGem, who make dead people into bits of jewelery using magic and/or huge weights. In total there will be three gems, one of which will be auctioned on eBay. So, if you really fancy owning some carbon atoms which were once in Beethoven, and have around $1,000,000 burning a hole in your pocket, now is your lucky day.

Or you could just breath for a bit.
