The number of words in the Bible divided by the number of verses equals exactly 666.

Think about it. That would mean the average length of a verse in the bible is 666 words. Kind of long if you ask me. The KJV has 789,650 words and 31,102 verses. That's 25.39 words per verse. Not even close to 666.

ambergris (whale vomit) is also used in expensive perfumes.
It is also worth a bit if you find some.

"up to $10,000 a kilogram could be paid to the finder of highest quality white ambergris washed up on a beach, and as much as $40,000 a kg was paid inside the perfume industry"

Thanks Beezzer. Now I am going to be ugly and it is all your wife's fault! LOL NO eye makeup. CHECK. No lip stick CHECK. NO perfume. CHECK.

No perfume.
And now no hair repair.

I am getting uglier by the minute!!
