Learn some facts. Here are some common animal sources used to make perfume:

- Ambergris: Ambergris is a solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull gray or blackish color produced in the digestive system of and regurgitated or excreted by sperm whales.

- Castoreum: Within the zoological realm, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac in combination with the beaver's urine, used during scent marking of territory.

- African Civet: The perineal gland secretion has been the basic ingredient for many perfumes for hundreds of years and is still being used today although on the decline since the creation of synthetic musk.

- Hyraceum: Hyraceum is the petrified and rock-like excrement composed of both urine and feces excreted by the Cape Hyrax, commonly referred to as the Dassie.

- Honeycomb: From the honeycomb of the honeybee.

- Deer musk: Deer musk is a substance with a persistent odor obtained from a gland of the male musk deer situated between its back/rectal area.

The Intelligence² Debate - Stephen Fry (Unedited)

Banks are amoral. That's all I know. (Is there still any doubt about this at this point in time?)

I need more information about this particular issue, but am not interested enough to bother.

But if they are not breaking any laws or rules, how can you put blame on them? They are just playing the game, just like the banks are playing the game. Sad world indeed.

No comment on the chocolates (or truffles).

But about zombies and vampires: neither makes any sense. You can't be dead and alive at the same time. It's a contradictio in terminis. This has always rubbed me the wrong way.

I expected this to be hogwash before watching the video and I turned out to be correct.

A for effort.

Creepy Victorians.

With all due respect, but I don't understand the fascination people have with deep frying everything. (Or drowning everything in sugar or syrup.) Here it would just ruin the taste of the strawberry, I think. Or maybe it's just a joke, I don't know anymore.

Hehe, I notice you also posted about the "tourist lane". :)

I read somewhere else that the tattoo is the same as the name of the hospital or hospital ward which is on the bed sheets.

Can't find the article anymore. (Everything I can find with Google is a copy of the same story linked here.) An allergic reaction makes a lot more sense, why would the hospital do it on purpose? It's not as if they could expect it to go unnoticed.

So you're a fan of psycho rock then? Ok, noted.

Seriously?

All three sides play as if they are black. So who starts?
