 People Who Try to Pretend Like They Already Knew the Story About Jimmy Stewart Smuggling a Yeti Hand out of Nepal in His Wife's Underpants
I do not believe you, unless your name is Jimmy Stewart's Wife's Vagina. And I'm pretty sure Jimmy Stewart's Wife's Vagina doesn't know how to read. So...edited 10th Apr '09 7:20:03 PM by JohnADreams life is the sleep of no dreaming; stories allow us to dream again
 Technically, it was concealed in his luggage, supposedly amongst his wife's underwear.

The Icelandic language still uses the old letter thorn (þ) in addition to the letter eth (ð) which would be pretty cool if they didn't make the same sound. Stupid alphabets. Also, :þ
