I lost 10 or so diamonds in lava earlier today, as well as a diamond pick, shovel and axe. It was the only time it's happened to me so far but it still sucks (I swear I used the water bucket in time...). I also have plenty of redstone which you can nab if you like but I'm probably so far out of your way that it would be quicker to just mine some more. :-P
Talk about confused. I thought Matt was the Matt from here. I was all like oh Matt how you doin'? Fuck, it wasn't Matt, but it was another Matt! He's pretty cool, but not Matt!
When I did Taekwondo I could go down into a full box splits and get my chest on the floor. I can still do a fairly resonable splits, but the chest to the floor is a near impossibility.
