I still have one currently hooked up, The Wife uses it daily in her office.

Do all the phone calls sound clear on it?

Looks like it's made from marzipan.

I don't think it counts.

That's why they went extinct : they were so damn delicious - a walking fondant.

Unfortunately that pelt tasted like mothballs, when I gave it a crafty lick.

There is actually some evidence that they may not be extinct. I was reading about it last year; some scientists are skeptical. I think they never went extinct. But then again, I’m a bassist.

The Carolina Parakeet, the heath hen, the passenger pigeon, and the Narragansett Pacer horse are all extinct, as is my favorite, the giant sloth:

That's weird - when does that date from?

When I was a kid (in the 80's), my Mum bought me a 50's retro ray gun - it was chromed steel, with two translucent red plastic blisters on the sides, and the barrel was a separate articulated piece, so that when you pulled the trigger, the barrel would recoil, and the sparks from the caps would illuminate the plastic blisters - it was identical to that Batman gun (other than being a cap gun, rather than a water pistol, being silver metal, rather than blue plastic, and not having anything to do with Batman).
