At last, Garnet and I have something in common! I have a little bronze Buddha sitting on top of my monitor at work looking at me right now! One of our salesmen went on vacation and brought something back for everyone. Since I'm the resident oddball religion guy, I got Buddha (everyone else got tropical t-shirts and the like). He knew that I was not Buddhist, but since I told him Pagans were really into graven images, it was the first thing he thought of for me.
