Correct,

"
LOS ANGELES, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The gun that killed American Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid sold for more than $6 million at auction on Friday in Los Angeles, more than double the pre-sale estimate.

Bonhams auctioneers said the Colt single-action revolver that Sheriff Pat Garrett used to take down Billy the Kid in 1881 was bought over the phone by a person who wished to remain anonymous."

Hence the Q. Over to you.

Tequila is made from the Weber blue agave plant, or agave tequilana, which is a large succulent with long, spiked leaves similar to aloe vera.
Within the core of the blue agave plant is a bulb called the piña.
This bulb is baked and juiced, and the juice is fermented with yeast in barrels to make tequila.

So that's two right both declaring OH.

OH it is.
