Just ran across a video clip that details how one of my favorite watches is made — the Corum Classical Vanitas:
I dragged Brian through nearly every watch shop in Las Vegas when we were last there, and I couldn’t find the version I wanted of this watch anywhere — it was either the wrong face pattern, or the right face pattern but the wrong color gold, or the right face pattern and color of gold but with diamonds all around the bezel (and I wasn’t really looking for a sparkly diamond watch) . . .
Yes, life is hard.

Astronomers discover that there are places in the Universe that are just like High School, only slightly bigger:
Astronomers puzzled by cosmic black hole
“Astronomers have stumbled upon a tremendous hole in the universe . . . . It is 1 billion light years across of nothing. That’s an expanse of nearly 6 billion trillion miles of emptiness, a University of Minnesota team announced Thursday . . . Retired NASA astronomer Steve Maran said of the discovery: “This is incredibly important for something where there is nothing to it.”
Kind of like finding a date for the Prom . . .
