** It is possible here too. When I read their offer (Do you want to have your face on a
postal stamp?) for the first time, I thought it was really so. But in fact the stamp is
devided into two parts (with a perforation in the middle), one of them is blank and later
they print your photo on the stamp sheet on a laser printer.
What you can do yourself too, you just print your small faces on a normal paper, then cut
one of them off and glue it beside the stamp on an envelope...
