That really inspirational/witty/clever tweet you love can now be immortalized in wood or metal.

#PermanentRetweet, a company launched this week, takes any 140 characters of unforgettable Twitter magic and etches it into permanent material. The cost? $20 for wood, $25 for metal.

Creator Brian Thompson tells Yahoo that the inspiration for the idea backfired on its original source. "It was originally inspired by my wife’s frustration with how distracted I get by Twitter, as she put it ‘looking at your phone instead of being here in the real world with us,'" Thompson says.

Now the man looks at Twitter all day and makes permanent tweets.

The question about royalties is something Thompson covers, too. "I’m giving two-thirds of the purchase price to the original tweeter," he tells Yahoo.

So all those people on Twitter that quote the Bible? Jesus is going to make some bank soon.
