If you wanted to present a loved one with a 7-foot tall skyscraper made out of No. 2 pencils this Christmas and were willing to spend $40,000 (delivery not included, but it comes with a cute sock monkey if you want one), what legendary purveyor of luxury/ fantasy goods would be able to assist you? And can you find me a picture of the skyscaper and the monkey?

The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book once again delivers an offering of the most outrageous, luxurious and adventurous gifts money can buy. Houston's Art Guys, Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, have a gift in this year's Christmas book: a $40,000, 7-foot-tall skyscraper made of thousands of No. 2 pencils. "Our piece is in context with a brand-new BMW and a diamond bracelet," Galbreth said. "We just love that!" http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/sitelets/christmasbook/christmasbook.jhtml?RFX_Res=low http://chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/style/4233958.html Oct 06 06, 5:50 PM

O.K., I'll be generous divide the silver mace between peasy and Brainy. Wonder how much N-M would charge for it? Actually, I do shop at Neiman Marcus now and then, and I've been getting a kick out of the Christmas Book since childhood. The new edition arrived in my mailbox today. My favorite gift was the twin exotic fish tanks (one for him and one for her) that not only included the fish but also replaced the usual sand at the bottom with pearls and precious stones. Alas, my parents refused to buy them for me. Can't imagine why. Oct 06 06, 5:56 PM

Hey, big spenders! The annual Christmas Book of a certain upscale retailer has just been published, and as usual, some one-of-a-kind items are offered at breathtaking prices. Who can tell me what store this is and what you can buy someone you love for only $3.5 million -- delivery NOT included? Following on from Question #71691, if somebody wanted to give their loved one the items mentioned in 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' this December, ignoring delivery charges, how much would it cost? If you were a Class 3 lawyer, would you want a client that is "malum in se" or "malum prohibitum"? This performer at Woodstock may have posed the ultimate trivia question, or answer, when he later sang, "Anthing you want to know, Just ask me, And in the the words most in opinion and in demand, I'll give you an answer if I can, Catch one if you can, Passing by, That feels right to me"?
