Gonzzo, Panama hats are made from the leaves of the carludovica palmata. It takes 6 young leaves to make one hat.
The most famous areas in Ecuador for Panama hats are Jipijama and Montecristi.
The name Panama Hat came about because California 49ers picked them up in Panama on their way home.



I believe the dog question was already answered.
So do I get 5 x-tra points?

Cinderella's Slippers
Hey Sass, did you know that Cinderella's glass slippers, were made of squirrel fur originally. Somehow the French word was mis-read or wrongly translated...and the glass slipper was born.

RINDERCELLA
(As told by Archie Campbell)

Once upon a time in a corn foundry there lived a geautiful birl and her name was Rindercella. Now Rindercella lived with her mugly other and two sad blisters. Also in this same corn foundry there lived a pransome hince, and this pransome hince was going to have a bancy fall and he'd invited people
for riles amound especially the pich reople. Now Rindercella's mugly other and her two sad blisters went to town to buy some dancy fesses for the bancy fall, but Rindercella couldn't go cause all she had to wear were some
old ruddy dags. Finally the night of the bancy fall arrived and Rindercella couldn't go so she just crank down and shried. And she was sitting there shrieing when all of the sudden there appeared before her, her gay
mudfather and he touched her with his wagic mand and there appeared
before her a kig bulch and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall, and he said -- "Rindercella, be sure and be home before midnight or I'll purn you into a tumpkin!" When Rindercella arrived at the bancy fall the
pransome hince met her at the door because he'd been watching behind
a wooden hindow. Rindercella and the pransome hince manced all night
until midnight and they lell in fove. And finally the mid clock struck night, and Rindercella spaced down the rairs and just as she beached the rottom she slopped her dripper! The next day this pransome hince went all over
this corn foundry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. They finally came to Rindercella's house, and he tried it on the mugly other and it fidn't dit. Then he tried lt on the two sisty uglers and it fidn't dit and then he tried it on Rindercella and it fid dit! It was exactly the sight rize! And so they were married and lived heavenly after happily. Now the storal of the mory is: if you go to a bancy fall and you want a pransome hince to lell in fove with you -- don't forget to slop your dripper!
