Weighing 1.33 pounds, and christened the “Cullinan,” it was the largest diamond ever found. The Cullinan was later cut into nine large stones and about 100 smaller ones. The largest stone is called the “Star of Africa,” or “Cullinan I,” and at 530 carats, it is the largest-cut fine-quality colorless diamond in the world. The stone is on display in the Tower of London and is mounted in the British Sovereign’s Royal Scepter. The price of this diamond is about $400 million.

Benjamin Franklin Thomas Jefferson George Washington John Hancock 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOHN HANCOCK Answer: John Hancock was a prominent Patriot of the American Revolution. Hancock was president of Congress when the Declaration of Independence was adopted and signed. He is primarily remembered by Americans for his large, flamboyant signature on the Declaration, so much so that "John Hancock" became, in the United States, an informal synonym for signature. According to legend, Hancock signed his name largely and clearly so that King George could read it without his spectacles, but the story is apocryphal and originated years later.

Argon Helium Neon Methane 21 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ARGON GAS Answer: The original Declaration of Independence still survives and is one of the most treasured papers in American history. It is stored in a titanium case filled with inert argon gas. The thick bulletproof glass sheet over it is tinted very heavily to prevent damage from sunlight or UV rays. Similar preservation techniques are used to protect the Bill of Rights and Constitution. The Declaration of Independence remains on display in the rotunda of the National Archives, where it is seen by roughly 6,000 tourists every day. At night, when the crowds have all gone home, the case is lowered 22 feet into a vault.

The first contest was held in 1972, when the winner scarfed down just 14 dogs. Last year, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut repeated as men's champion by eating 72 hot dogs in under ten minutes, an all-time record for the event. But it wasn’t his personal record overall. In a previous qualifying race for the annual competition, he managed to scarf down 73 dogs. His win last year was his 10th victory at the annual Nathan's Famous competition. Winners receive the famed “Mustard Belt,” along with a top prize of $10,000. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

My guess though would be His Holiness 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: HIS HOLINESS Answer: “His Holiness” is the official style used to address the Roman Catholic Pope. The associated form of address is "Your Holiness". The use of the term "His Holiness" in addressing or referring to the pope can be traced back several hundred years, although it is difficult to identify any particular event that first occasioned its use. In honoring its supreme religious leader with that title, the Catholic Church is not alone. The same term is used to designate the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as spiritual head of the Orthodox community, as well as the Dalai Lama.
