Jeez! One week I've been at head office and only intermittently reading
this account, the next I've been flooded with time-sensitive
hurry-up-and-wait work, and what happens? The list explodes with
traffic. <g>

Not much. I'm pretty sure I found it in my spam folder, but there's a
company in Asia that makes fingernail printers - essentially a
highly-customized inkjet printer whose ink is nail polish (more or
less), and whose print surface is a fingernail (or, with a suitable
adapter, a toenail). You can have one too for about 5K! <g> (I'd dig
up the link, but I'm not sure which set of bookmarks it's buried in.)
Feed in pretty much any digital image, push the button, wait a minute or
so, and let dry.
