From what I remember from a brief attempt at chemistry, one of the funny things of buckyballs/fullerenes was that adding a group to one point of the ball, changed the energy (and usually making it easier) to add the group to the next position. Basically you got only a few products, all 60 positions reacted, or none at all. (or slightly less when there was steric hindrance)

Africa and some other countries have Diamond, it occurs in ancient volcanic pipes in a rock type called kimberlite. Graphite occurs in metamorphic rocks, thus it too will be associated with igneous rocks to some extent as it is the presence of such along with the heat and pressure that causes the alteration of carbon into graphite, not sure exactly how but google will pull that one up.

Boyle is one of my favorites. You can change what temp things freeze at or turn into gas or even plasma just by changing the pressure of the air. I think one of the gases close to neon does something cool if you give it less then normal air pressure, it turns into plasma if you electrify it. Sure water crystalizes at 32F so you think of coldness when you think of freezing but other things can freeze and crystalize at room temperature or even higher

Capacity might not be the right word, but the unprecedented capability of any organism to produce fine chemicals is indeed amazing. Even more so given that organisms have only a limited supply of catalysts and reagents, and yet they can always make them. Of course when one considers the 4.3 or so thousand million years of evolution that have lead to this, it becomes a little less impressive, but nevertheless still immensely amazing.

They can be delocalized in a way that forms a C=C bond for a short amount of time, but that is rather improbable. They way our teacher wanted us to look at it was like 1 1/2 bond between carbon atoms. But since you made your point, i'm unsure if my theory is right because the rings are not really defined.
