Knee-braska is home to the world's lagest ball of stamps.
Largest Ball of Stamps, Boys Town, NE Weighing in at 600 pounds and measuring 32 inches in diameter, this ball of stamps is the work of the Boys Town Stamp Collecting Club. Currently on display at Leon Myers Stamp Center in the Boys Town Visitors Center, it was built in the 1950s and is composed of approximately 4,655,000 postage stamps. This makes it simultaneously the largest ball of stamps and the largest ball of dried saliva. —Adam McCulloch
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

That's like 10 minutes from my house. I'll have to run up there some time and take a picture.

Take photos Omaha, but don't touch it, that's a lot of dried saliva.

Since Bruce has a large amount of saliva at his disposal, maybe he could donate some so more stamps could be added.

You bring the stamps, we'll provide the saliva. The perfect marriage of two different businesses...dentistry, and postal delivery.

Waste not; want not. Bruce is a model in efficiency and his sensitivity to preserving the environment through the reuse of resources should be commended. It's a brilliant use of excess bodily fluids - way better than the uses JHAP has invented...

I have a joke for Bruce. A dentist decided to take a class on auto repair. For the final exam the instructor had the students reassemble an engine. The dentist got his grade back and it was 150 points. He went to the instructor and asked him how he got such a high grade. He told him that he gave him a 100 for doing a perfect job on the engine and another fifty points for doing it through the tailpipe.

Not me. I looked into making BioDiesel but the lack of a heated outbuilding put a crimp on building a processing system.
