Next they'll be making lenses out of sand or something! Or camera bodies
leached out of rutile and ilmenite rich igneous rocks and sediments! The
damn idiots. Oh where oh where will it all end?!

A good thing we have hiley edjewmuhkayted folk like you here keeping us
abreast of all this madness and lunacy!
