I was wondering the same thing about gerbils being illegal. That seems "off," even for California. :D Here in Pennsylvania, I know hedgehogs as pets are illegal, but not gerbils. And if you want...

Child protection for a 23-year-old is a bit over the top, even for the U.S. :) I wouldn't be surprised if PETA was protecting the rights of rubber bands now, though... :)

My daughter once said a dead skunk smells like burnt rubber bands. I think that's the best description I've ever heard and it definitely is how it smells to me, too.
