Buckyballs apparently kill fish and other waterborne creatures. 

Of course, on slashdot, the best part are the jokes:

"Imagine the death certificate. CAUSE: Buckyballs." 

"I thought 'Buckyballs' was an injury suffered by rodeo riders, like
'Tennis elbow'."

"Blueballs kill geeks, so I'm not feeling real sorry for the fish at
this time."

"I knew it, Soccer rots your brain."

Ummm ...
You have a girlfriend?
If you do, take her to a jewlers
Show her the diamonds
Watch her IQ drop like a stone :)"

"I have heard that another carbon arrangement, known as diamond, is a
pretty toxic chemical that affects the brain of many female homo
sapien. It is also known to be addictive.

Strangely, this material seems to have little effect on male home
sapien, although the lack of it seems to affect the reproductive
potential of that subspecies."

Now we know what happened to Blinky:

 'Do you have Buckyballs?' 'No, it's just the way I walk.'

How does someone diagnose "severe brain damage" in bass? Do they flop
in a flamenco rhythm when pulled out of water? Do they play hooky from
the rest of the school?"
