Ah yes, but the real question is how did you get the accession numbers onto
the (presumably small) scales of rust?
:-)

By the way, don't forget that there is a whole country called Chad, probably
established long before a chad was a punch out piece of paper on a Floridian
ballot card. See: http://www.africaguide.com/country/chad/index.htm

For our readers who are not in the USA, Spain or Cuba, the "Maine" was a US
battleship that blew up in Havana harbour, Cuba in 1898,just before the
Spanish American War. See:
