When I saw the commercial for that during the F1 pre-race show I thought it was a joke.

That's actually rather clever, but also easy to copy with a handful of wood screws, a big hook and some lumber.

I feel bad about that sometimes; seeing a brilliantly simple idea but not rewarding its inventor by actually buying it. Simple ideas are just too easy to copy at a fraction of the cost.

Dumb ideas can be copied at a fraction of the cost as well.

Rest assured that when the shark that eats you takes a dump and the watch survives the digestion, it'll still be ticking merrily away on the bottom of the ocean in a pile of poo.

Until the crabs come.

Rolex allows no opportunity for publicity to slip through their fingers.
Having worked with ROV's extensively, I'm pretty sure the watch is the only thing they can count on working properly throughout the whole job.

Jamie: (snorkling at the beach) Did you see that? That crab was wearing a wrist-watch.

Marisa: How can you be narced* in only 7 meters of water?

Michael: Do crabs even have wrists?

Jamie: Okay, fine, CLAW-watch! And I am not narced!

True conversation while snorkling off the Florida Keys...

Companion: Does anybody know what time it is?

Voodoo: Sure...about 11:30am.

Companion: (concerned voice) Oh...is your watch waterproof? (we've already been in the water 2 hours)

Voodoo: (facepalm) It'll be fine as long as I don't go deeper than 660 feet.

This is going to sound horribly domesticated, but because my apartment is quite small I don't really have anywhere to hang washing out. Since I am also way, way to lazy to drag my arse to a laundromat I wound up buying a washer/dryer combo:

Best money I've spent in a long time; throw your clothes in and three hours later they come back out washed and dry. Because it uses steam for the dry cycle rather than hot air it doesn't heat the room up and also suddenly everything can be tumble dried (within reason, obviously). Double bonus, again because of the steam, as long as you get your clothes out right at the end of the cycle (you can tell it was designed in Japan or Korea... it plays a little song rather than beeping) they're mostly wrinkle free and only need an iron vaugly waved in their direction.

Ok, I'll stop now because I'm starting to scare myself.

Have you ever wanted to spend £4,000 on a desk lamp? Me neither. But if aliens ever showed up and threatened to destroy the world if I did not spend £4,000 on a desk lamp it would be this one.

It's made from an exhaust header from Fernando Alonso's 2006 Renault R26 (in which he won the World Championship).
