    Depends who you ask really, a Paul McCartney (Wings) song, a current
    popular Australian rock band, it's also a plane that goes really
    fast... ;) 

    (From Webster's) In this case it's "a fossil wood allied to brown
    coal, and is derived from driftwood which has been subjected to
    chemical action in stagnate water and subsequently compressed by
    great pressures" Victorian mourning jewellery is almost entirely made
    of it. Polished well it's a beautiful substance. 

Cheers,
Taylor in Toronto
