and 14th...ivory...isn't that illegal in the US?

Paper can be creative - like dollar bills, etc.

If ivory isn't illegal, it should be!

This is too wierd - I only thought to post this question b/c I bought a first anniversary/going away gift for a good friend of ours that's celebrating their 1st anniv. next month. I bought a bronze wall clock from Pottery Barn and then wondered if clock would be stupid - I thought it was a later year - go figure, it's the FIRST year's gift! Pretty Cool! Now I wrap it for them

Thanks guys!
