    As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

    60 Minutes just did a show about dead celebrities and they said that Einstein brings in more money than even Elvis. Good that he was an avid pipe man.

    Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

    Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

    I'd say Einstein, then Twain. After those, the line gets blurry I think. Probably with Tolkien in there pretty close behind. But the world sadly is much more ignorant of Tolkien than Einstein and Twain -or should I say Clemens?... shhh.

    Staring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes, and Howard Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson.

    Start here and follow the internal links for the full story on the Tarzan pipe. It's written in French, so you'll probably need the Google translator.

    The skin is reportedly leopard (Panthera pardus), but IMO it could easily be artificial. I dunno. The stamping on the "leather" purportedly says TRC Savvage, but I'm gonna check some old Iwan Ries (IRC) catalogs to see if they ever sold a Savvage line of pipes. At any rate, the picture of Tarzan with a pipe seems pretty unambiguous.
