That reminds me of a themepark I used to get taken to as a kid, where they had a castle entirely made out of sweets. They'd have liked a mint gargoyle :-) (Castle pics here (http://www.sundownadventureland.co.uk/picture.asp))

Not real sweets, sadly.

Ah, of course, yes! Instead of sculpting my toothpaste-enhanced face out of rock, one should of course sculpt it out of mint. Obvious in retrospect.

That reminds me of a silly conversation I had a week or two ago, though I can't quite remember with whom: someone suggested that it should be possible to buy little mints sculpted into the shape of Star Wars stormtroopers' helmets – Mint Imperials :-)

Wow, I clicked the link, and got a page with a flash paceholder in the middle. Then I tried to scroll down to see if there was something below it, and the placeholder started getting bigger and bigger, both horizontally and vertically. It's stopped now, but it's enormous! V weird.
