Maybe a tree Jefferson planted with his own hands? That would be pretty cool.

Headplates from the butt of one of Teddy Roosevelt's gun stocks (you know.. the pre-president badass Teddy)

Einstein's (or Feynman's) desk.

I am sure I could think of more.. but all of those would be cool.

John, you probably didn't know this... but I'm half gummy bear and your comments are downright offensive. Me and my gelatinous brethren are STILL persecuted to this day, often to the point of being consumed by non-gelatinous humans! Please keep your homosapien-centric prejudices to yourself.

My paternal grandmother's uncle was a gummy bear, so like it or not, I think we're some sort of cousins, Chris.

Okay, I took it too far. My (unsarcastic) apologies to anyone I've offended or annoyed. Chris, that certainly includes you. Maybe an olive branch could be used for bindings.

P.S. I think "and furthermore...........GUMMY BEARS!" should become an OLF code phrase when things are getting out of hand. I'll try not to provoke it too frequently.

What a great shame that this post has turned out to be a bit of a slanging match.
This is the problem some times with the internet we reply to posts some time's without thinking of what we are saying and our posts are read wrong, I have been guilty myself replying to posts without thinking and I have also has forum members in forums here in Australia get on there high horses rant and rave about subjects they know nothing about.
The old saying please wait till the brain engages before posting.
Regards, Robert
