Instead of ivory for the keyboards, he uses mammoth tusk, which has been dug up from Siberia or something of that ilk. Still incredibly rare and valuable, but no mammoths were harmed in the making of this harpsichord.Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-35418492623451194102015-01-15T13:23:37.070-05:002015-01-15T13:23:37.070-05:00Maybe we can convince them that our new "synt...Maybe we can convince them that our new "synthetic rhino horn" works even better would be another approach.

Hmm... population of Vietnam is around 90 million. If you want to educate 1/4 to a 1/3 of them, that's $3 or $4 per student (per year).<br /><br />Of course, who knows how effective it would be... culture can be one of the hardest things to change. <br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.com
