SC - Gallstones are NOT bile...

[Huette von Ahrens]

Now, the really odd bit I found is at work, the packing plant saves the
gallstones found in the beef bile duct for use as "medicine". Apparently,
they sell it for aphrodisiacs to the Oriental market; I think the last price
I heard was 400$ an ounce.
