Phunday is Back

I guess this year, Monday is going to be Phunday, because I seem to be too busy on Sundays. So here are some fun things I stumbled across recently.

This first ridiculous thing was taken from the Wall Street Journal on 4-25-08:

In April the Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome ... introduced the "Day&Night" watch, which unfortunately does not provide a reading of the hour or the minute. Though it retails for about $300,000, it tells only whether it is "day" or "night" (using a complex measurement of the Earth's gravity). CEO Yvan Arpa said studies show that two-thirds of rich people "don't (use) their watch to tell what time it is" anyway. Anyone can buy a watch that tells time, he told a Reuters reporter, but only a "truly discerning customer" can buy one that doesn't.

Maybe this watch would be useful in the land of the midnight sun, but I personally am generally capable of figuring out if it is daytime or nighttime. Apparently I am just not "discerning"!

This second bit of humor for your Monday comes from Indexed, one of my favorite humor blogs, which graphically represents the human condition. This post was entitled "But they only warn you about one."


My husband even enjoyed that one - maybe he knows something about me that I'm not aware of.
