    I know sharks are not normally seen as "Mr. Popular"...but they do have a place in the ocean ecosystem...

    100 million sharks killed each year, say scientists | Environment | guardian.co.uk

    I think it's time for us to forget the old fashioned treasures like elephant Ivory or rino. I think that the most coveted bones are poacher teeth and femurs. Go get them.

        Yeah but poacher teeth can be polished into some very nice beads for pendants.

          Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
          So that blind people can hate them as well.
