The Crater of Diamonds in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, the United States, is the world’s only diamond mine open to the public, where by paying a small entrance fee, anyone can look for diamonds and keep what they find. Originally a crater, this 37-acre land has been plowed into fine dirt by hundreds of thousands of amateur prospectors who dig through the dirt every year looking for precious stones. Some visitors use a special sieve known as a “seruca” to wash and separate the heavier diamonds from the lighter debris. Others just get down on their hands and knees, and claw at the dirt looking for the faint reflection of jewels in the furrows.

For more than one hundred years since its discovery, the Crater of Diamonds have yielded thousands of diamonds and other semi-precious gems including the 40-carat "Uncle Sam", the largest diamond ever discovered in the United States. According to Park officials, visitors find more than 600 diamonds each year of all colors and grades, and over 31,000 diamonds have been found in the crater since it became a state park in 1972.

“what are your hobbies?” question? This happens for several reasons. On one hand, it’s likely that you don’t really know if you have any hobbies to begin with. What exactly classifies as a hobby? Can you say that browsing the Internet all day long and binge-watching House of Cards count as a hobby? And to give some answers before moving on, yes, it does. As long as it’s something that you fill your pastime with because it’s an activity you enjoy, it counts as a hobby.

Guy Couldn’t Find A Date For Prom So He Took His Cat Instead

Guy Couldn’t Find A Date For Prom So He Took His Cat Instead

Finding a date for Prom can be a stressful experience for many. Just ask Sam Steingard. With the big date drawing ever nearer, the 18-year-old singleton from The States still hadn’t found a girl to take. So instead of going alone or refusing to go at all, he did what any rational and sound-minded person would do in such a situation. He took Ruby, his cat.

Ok, so he didn’t take his cat to the actual dance (as it might have been too stressful for her) but he did at least pose for some prom photos with her. Sam’s sister Caroline brought the picture to the world’s attention by posting the snap of the happy couple on Imgur (I’m sure Sam appreciated that!) and Sam and Ruby have since become unlikely internet superstars. They might not have gone to prom together but they still make a pretty cute couple!
