[edit] Merge with famous diamonds category?

Why isn't the category used instead of this list? As new famous diamonds are discovered (like the Lesotho_Promise), the article can simply include a category tag to be added to the category. On the other hand, it it requires someone to directly edit this article for the new diamond to appear in the list. Is there a reason to have both a category and a list? --Dirkbike 23:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Categories and lists are found to co-exist all over wikipedia. The list enables subjects that have not yet been written about - to be listed. Categories only detail those articles that exist in wikipedia ie a subset of the other. It took me a while to understand the rationale for both, but now I understand why.

[edit] Clotman Diamond

Is there such a thing as the "Clotman Diamond"? It got brought up a lot on Garfield and Friends ... also SNL.

         It's the "Klopman Diamond", which doesn't really exist.
         It's from an old Johnny Carson joke.
