Not exactly an invention, but a re-discovery of a method replaced by efficiency.

If you think of the cost of feeding and maintaining an elephant ... it might be some of the most expensive paper in the world.

Well when you live in a shithole country, you tend to make things out of shit.

I miss the old days where they had elephants in the circus and you could buy or sell things on Ebay, that were made out of ivory.
