Did you know that I have a friend whose birthday also begins the Byzantine Church's year, and he himself is a Maronite?

Yes. And if you spread your arms out to either side fingertip to fingertip is how tall you are.

Actually, I did google it, and you're wrong. Most perfumes use synthetics now. Also, it's usually pooped out unless the chunk is too big. Then it's regurgitated.

[spoiler]
Ambergris occurs as a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary"]biliary[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretion"]secretion[/url] of the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestines"]intestines[/url] of the sperm whale and can be found floating upon the sea, or in the sand near the coast. It is also sometimes found in the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdomen"]abdomens[/url] of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale"]whales[/url]. Because the beaks of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_squid"]giant squids[/url] have been found embedded within lumps of ambergris, scientists have theorised that the substance is produced by the whale's gastrointestinal tract to ease the passage of hard, sharp objects that the whale might have eaten.
Ambergris is usually passed in the fecal matter. Ambergris that forms a mass too large to be passed through the intestines is expelled via the mouth, leading to the reputation of ambergris as primarily coming from whale vomit.[sup][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris#cite_note-0"][1][/url][/sup]
