    Just checked it up, Rudolph was a ninth reindeer, not one of the listed eight. And then there's Olive, the other reindeer...

    Did you know that, as they are commonly portrayed, all Santa's reindeer have to be female because male reindeer drop their antlers at the start of winter and only females would have antlers at this time?

    I noticed that some while ago - if we were communicating verbally it might well cause problems, but visually they are totally different. Does that make us homonyms? Or homophones? That's not a quiz question :)

    Ok, another Christmassy one. Frankincense is derived from a tree (Boswellia carterii), what part of the tree is made into frankincense?

    Newhome has it, sap or resin is collected as dry droplets on the tree. Apparently it has all sorts of beneficial qualities.

    One of the things I could never figure out is why you can buy two "different" essential oils (with different names) but which are extracted, essentially (:pac:), from the same plant. What are they?
