Pro tip: Not advisable to handle the armadillo with bare hands so that you don't inadvertently absorb some blood product or moisture into your skin.

Armadillos are one of the only critters on earth that carry Leprosy. The CDC has more info.

After decades of painting Fords different colors, the coats built up on the walls of the Dearborn finishing shop. Eventually, people realized the artistic value of a chisled off piece and Fordite was born. Many made polished jewelry from it and is usually still available on eBay.

A lot of that Fordite is from the era of lacquer paint and has a bright hue.

It would be so much easier to get the seeds that way instead of the real way!!!
