I've now got two buffalo rib bones quietly soaking away in plain 
water at the end of our deck -- I would have used the "bury in soil" 
trick except that we live in a third-floor apartment and I don't 
think our building managers would have been all that keen on us 
digging up the landscape.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions -- I'm really looking 
forward to the results.

Cheers
