Rod
A: Because phosphor is expensive, and phosphor

Spain query. by
Rod
Just confirmining,
the control numbers on the early Spanish
are sheet numbers right?
If I say have A535,348 on the back of a stamp,
that means all of the stamps on that sheet
have the same number?
"Control" suggests an accounting procedure?

A salute to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow by
Rod
It always pleases me to see so many Poets
celebrated on stamps.
The sweetness is accentuated when one comes
from within our own ranks.
(even if he did have some help from Henry)
A little piece of brilliance, to one of the world's most loved poems.

Curiosity Corner #316: Snow Crystals by
Rod
The ingenuity of man is highlighted by
the development of a technique that permits the trapping
of snow crystals between thin layers of fast-setting plastic
to preserve forever their beauty in the form
of a permanent cast.
