I think that making a stuffed Gnus gnu would be, er, a challenge.  :-) 
I mean, it's not very three dimensional, is it?  (Or, er, connected.)

Anyway, the mugs have now been secured.  They are dark, dark blue,
80mm diameter and 90mm high.  (Or 3.2 inches in diameter and 3.5
inches in height, if one prefers non-metric.)  The model is called
"Stratford" (made in England), and the ink used is going to be red.
(I wanted silver metallic ink, but they couldn't guarantee that it
would be microwave safe.)  The ink is below the, er, glaze, and they
should be dishwasher safe.  (I've got a sample which I'm going to run
through the dishwasher on the "toughest" program a few times, which
should show whether these are crap or not.)  They weigh 245 grams.
Er...  I think those should be the vital stats.  Except for price,
which I'm going to have to do some calculation to find out (you know,
packaging and overhead and breakage and stuff).  I'm guessing they
will end up costing somewhere between $8-10, not including postage.
Oh, and they will try to deliver them before Xmas, but they weren't
sure.  

So, I've written the web shopping cart thing, but you can't see it
yet.  I'm waiting for the approval from Visa to take cards.
<URL:http://ingebrigtsen.no/> will be the place to shop.  (I just got
a mail that said the domain was approved, but the root servers don't
seem to be updated yet.)

*phew*

Hm -- perhaps I should take cash pre-orders from those who want to pay 
by cash?  Er...  Probably not much point.
