Yeah, I thought so too. But then I read the quote from the watchmaker at the end of the article:
But the collection has one major omission - watches for women.
"I don't know how to make watches for ladies. I love ladies. But I don't understand them," Arpa said.
Woman-as-alien-species bullshit aside, how does it not occur to someone that Teh Laydeez might also think A WATCH MADE FROM THE FUCKING MOON is wicked cool?
*headdesk*
Houston, we have a problem.

"I don't know how to make watches for ladies."
Well, it's understandable he'd have troubles. After all, everyone knows ladybrains simply don't process time in linear units, and have great difficulty with numbers to boot, and so the notion of looking at little sticks, pointing to numbers of all things, to discover how many so-called "hours" and "minutes" have passed since last they looked at the spinny sticks, is quite foreign to them, poor dears. It's certainly not as if a watchmaker could just make a watch like he (the reasons why there naturally could never be lady watchmakers being, I trust, quite evident by this point!) would for men, but perhaps a bit smaller. Why, he'd be laughed out of town, or at best go broke in six months trying to sell the things to women, who'd stand around befuddled, peering at the curious objects much as a squirrel or a magpie might! (This, of course, is why those few foolhardy individuals who do attempt to make lady-watches find it necessary to encrust them with shiny gewgaws.)
Oh, right! Silly me. My ladybrain got confused. ;)
It's to be expected; there was probably a shiny thing.
J, who works in jewellery, is fine with most of the major concepts of feminism, but still manages to be confused that I don't want him to buy me jewellery (i.e., hand his hard-earned money *back* to his company).
Also, I only have one neck! How many necklaces do I need?!
Hey L,
Nothing at all to do with watches or moondust....but anyway I just wanted to drop by and congratulate you on your nice shiny new BS.! Since we seem to be the only people at the Shakes pub to be MTU grads conggrats!!
And for a price I'd tell you where to look for a really really bad photo of me at Tech.

Thanks, Tedbert!
What's the price?
Well considering it's hanging in a fraternity house the price is I'd have to start paying my alumni dues.
Which I last did during the Clinton administration.
I really am a cheapskate bastard.
