I wonder how much that gem is worth...

[Skynet 2.0]

I love that they announce it's being kept in a "warehouse" in Las Vegas.  The perfect place to keep an emerald the size of an armchair.

I swear to god, if their is some sort of legendary criminal that pulls of the most epic heist of all time and gets away with a 850 pound emerald and gets outta the country. I know who to fucking worship now.

That would be some old fashioned supervillainy.

The problem being that once you steal an 850lbs emerald (and how the hell do you move the thing anyway?) there's not much you can do with it.  It's not like there are many other man-sized emeralds in the world to confuse it with when you try to sell it.

Of course, a proper supervillain gem-thief would just sit on the thing like the throne it is, rolling a glass of Chianti as the near-equal rival detective bursts into the hideout.

Just break it into smaller yet still very expensive emeralds, and sell those. You wouldn't make quite as much money, but at least it would be possible to sell then.

Oh dear lord, I think we have the plot for Ocean's 14.

They'll steal this in Ocean's 15 of course.

Ok NASA, stop fucking around. We gotta get the fuck up there!

A planet-sized diamond from a white dwarf star ?
Clearly, DF has more control over reality than we thought...

I totally call dibs on the giant star-diamond.

Make it so!
