Tom: Regarding disappearing ink ...
Well, live and learn. We experienced FBN'ites know to ALWAYS use the FBN-Pen, complete with disappearing ink, which is used for adding user requested modifications to our basic contract. Scant moments after the client hands the signed contract over to our salesman, the client changes disappear. Clever, eh?
I think Josef's list was written on some FBN-Paper. Unfortunately, he must have gotten ahold of one of the test batches. We were trying to validate our assumption that certain types of paper materials will vaporize at room temperature, particularly when in the presence of the chemical we used to make text disappear.
It's indeed a major misfortune that the lab got approval from a nondescript Government agency to test those chemicals on the original Declaration of Independence. The good news is that the chemicals aren't nearly as effective on old parchment paper as they are on the newer bonded paper types. The bad news is that the readability of the Declaration was slightly damaged. Instead of saying, "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union", It now looks like it says "We are purple, ordering burgers with perfect onions".
Imagine that ... Barney eating onions.
