Notice that it is banned in the US under the endangered species act. Nice beachcombing bonanza for the Aussies that found it, though. Big Al |

There was some political satire show on PBS (?) about 35 years ago that had a group of beach combers finding ambergris, showing them dancing for joy, smearing each other with it, and frolicking in their findings since they were now so rich. A health inspector comes along and informs them that it was actually toxic waste from an industrial plant a few miles away. Does anyone else remember this, and what show it was on? |

Whale vomit. Nice. Oh, that reminds me, I'm running low on my jungle-animal feces coffee beans. |

I guess you can also just rub a piece of it on your skin for an aphrodisiac effect. Its probably a good thing human vomit does not cause the same effect. |

I'd rather fall into chocolate. | |
