Victor Manta ================================================== ================= Brazil issued a second set of scented stamps in December 2001, this time smelling of coffee. The scent on these stamps was made with real coffee that was roasted, ground and filtered under pressure. It was then processed into microcapsules, mixed with clear varnish and applied to the printed stamps. The scent is released by lightly rubbing the stamp's surface with a fingertip. The specialists who created the process claim that the aroma should last for three to five years.

Bhutan has some rose scented stamps, but you did not have to scratch them...

I have them somewhere - thought they were interesting enough not to just pass up. Thanks to all, I see that at least 3 countries in my colleting area have smellables for me to go after. thanks again, Frank |

The she I speak of is the computer genius Grace Hopper, inventor of
Cobal computer language, coined the term "bug" and served as an admiral in the US Navy. She meets the 10 year requirement (she died in 1991). I also met this lady, had the chance to talk with her and remember it fondly. It would be kind of cool to see someone I actually have met on a stamp. Dave "Victor Manta" wrote in message ... The folk singers Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel reunited this fall, twenty years after their separation, for a concert tour of North America. I believe that the authors of unforgettable "El Condor Pasa", "The Sparrow", and "The Sound of Silence" deserve a stamp, and this *before* they pass by. The lyrics of mentioned songs can be found on: http://people.fm.uniba.sk/veres/mp3i...ondor_pasa.htm http://www.lyricsdepot.com/simon-garfunkel/sparrow.html http://people.fm.uniba.sk/veres/mp3i...of_silence.htm Victor Manta |

Fully agree!
BTW, the name of the language is COBOL, from COmon Business Oriented Language. I know it because my wife has programmed in this language during 30 years.
