Don't feel too bad for the cat - he doesn't have much sensation in his toes. So he just stares at his paw for a bit. Though he doesn't like the feeling of melted wax on his paws.

108. "Beulah Red"
- the name of the red marble used on the Colorado State Capital in Denver.
- Cutting, polishing, and installing the marble took six years, from 1894 to 1900.
- All of the "Beulah Red" marble in the world went into the Capital.
- This means it cannot be replaced, at any price.

Since when did you care about the Broncos?

And why does this thread now feel like Wikipedia for Denver?
