WTF does musk actually smell like?  I hear that all the time but I have yet to run into a musk.

That's 'cuz you're usually in the shower when you're trying to sniff another man's musky scent. I hear the steam doesn't help. Try stealing a whiff next time you're playing Twister.   ;D

Twister is for lusers.  I prefer a hot and sweaty game of four square.

I'm choking on my own ambergris just thinking about it!

I can't believe that ambergris is actually real.  I thought it was just a Futurama joke.

However, since I'm mentioning Futurama, I'll have to quote it:

Fry: So you're saying these aren't the decaying ruins of New York in the year 4000?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You wish. You're in Los Angeles.
Fry: But there was this gang of ten-year-olds with guns.
Leela: Exactly. You're in L.A.
Fry: But everyone is driving around in cars shooting at each other.
Bender: That's L.A. for you.
Fry: But the air is green and there's no sign of civilization whatsoever.
Bender: He just won't stop with the social commentary.
Fry: And the people are all phonies. No one reads. Everything has cilantro on it...

Thanks for that. I miss Futurama so much.

Frye: Where's the bathroom?
Bender: The what-room?
Frye: The bathroom?
Bender: The bath-what?
Frye: THE BATHROOM!
Bender: The what-what?

I just read about this story in the newspaper. It claimed the puke would fetch close on $1 million au.

The link is claiming significantly less.....

Quote from MrC's page:

AMBERGRIS FACTS
* Banned in US under endangered species legislation.

It's against the law to use the discarded digestive waste products from a mammal? WTF  ??? Bloody crazy yanks......

Nearly ALL of it would be extracted from the belly of a LIVE mammal, that's why.

NO NO NO NO! It is for scientific research! The tasty whale meat is collected for the purposes of research only! Honest.  ::)
