goosegogger Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Is it the skin of a skate, you might find it as a bookbinding, a wood veneer, or an abrasive Quote
+NattyBooshka Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Keehotee. Nearly but not quite. omg... whale vomit is close? My kind of question! I have no clue though! Quote

+thehalibutkid Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Ok as it's been a while you would find it in the bowels of the sperm whale and it's made of squid beaks. I think the Patrician was close enough for the ding being as he said it was formed in the guts. So ding. Quote
+The Patrician Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Ta! Charles II apparently - eggs and ambergris - om nom nom nom...... Still pricy 25 USD per gram. On with the question: Who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize? Quote

Pajaholic Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Unfortunately, that's a myth. I have a Labrador and one of her siblings has a black tongue. I did a quick check and found the following reference (thankfully preserved by the archive project), which contains photos of several breeds that have black tongues! Quote

Sorry Mr Fry! -1000000 points for me. Good spot... I guess they're the only dogs that "always" or "usually" have a non-pink tongue. Quote

+NattyBooshka Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Overlord indeed... God bless all involved... Our gratitude forever. There were lots of Marines involved that day... As well as army infantry. Which country boasts the oldest marines force? Edited August 14, 2011 by NattyBooshka Quote

The Mary Rose had a complement of marines as early as 1511, which pre-dates the Spanish. That said, they were 'marine infantry' and not Royal Marines, the latter being inaugurated in the seventeenth century. Quote
