Guesso is what that stuff is called? I always thought it was just some sort of shellac.

Did you watch the History channel special about relics? Yikes! Fingers and guts and stuff. The Uncorruptables endure having their fingers and limbs pulled off and sent around the world.

OK. That's way off-topic and not even in particularly good taste. The moderator will probably need to deal with me very strictly.

More trivial trivia - Most Russian nouns end with a consonant if masculine or "a" or "ya" if feminine. Not all nouns, of course, but most. There are exceptions (neuter nouns), like "moloko" is milk and "delo" is routine matters. "Guesso" must be groovy special shellac.
