I was going to type “Congratulations! Out of the 350,502 people who read my comment you were the only one who realized I was serious. The prize of a bottle of lizard urine is in the mail.”

[Just another Joe]

Are you serious? Where would you even buy it?

I have some I'll sell you but be warned, it's really REALLY expensive.

and the bizarrely-named 'earbagrace', which is probably Ambergris

The house genius at my back says no, "earbagrace" is another name for rue.

[I Buried My Guns]

Oh, rue. That clears things up.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Yep. Earbagrace = herb of grace = rue.

According to the first comment at the original article, “Dragon’s Blood is a plant resin.” :’)

I always love these modern day geniuses who catagorize some ancient tome as being full of “bad grammar and spelling mistakes”. Don’t the realize that grammar and spelling have changed over the ages?
