Could it be the watch that doesn't show time?

As the company’s Web site boasts: “With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds, the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.”

New in the sense of "fifth verse of one of the oldest texts known to mankind".

I'm quite a fan of the binary watch, which is almost as pointless.

A woman-repelling device if ever I saw one.

the 'Binary Watch' link was blocked by work, I'm afraid. Not that I ever needed a woman repellent to begin with.

Try this link.

This subject came up at a work leaving do last night. It turns out one of my colleagues actually plans on buying one. Tells you something about financial journalists, I think.

I don't find that repellent actually. Probably because of the pwetty lights. Plus I like the idea that you could ask him to explain it and thus he gets to feel all clever, etc.

If you want to talk watch-nerdiness, a bunch of friends and I used to reset our watches so that the 'pin' (or 3 o'clock) was the top of the hour. You'd be the only one who'd actually know what time it read. To anyone else looking, your watch was 3 hours and 15 minutes fast.

We were hot though, so chicks weren't a problem.

I was going to say this hands-free umbrella for a moment (especially as it does seem to need a hand)



but then I realised that umbrellas are useless. I took an umbrella out yesterday for the first time in years andended up fighting against the wind, getting caught in overhanging trees and almost poking other people's eyes out.

What is wrong with hats, hoods and waterproof coats?

Your trousers get very wet.

My pants/trousers get wet even with an umbrella. Unless you have one of those giant golf umbrellas, which get in everyone else's way, I don't see how your pants could stay mostly dry.

Umbrellas are the Devil's instruments.

You could always get some of those waterproof over-trouser garmets.

Rain, eh? A necessary evil if ever there was one.

If someone could invent some stuff that actually stops hair frizzing in the rain, then it would be perfect weather.

From Stumpy Pepy's link...

I can't decide whether they are amusing or just rather disgusting.

Inca, I thought it never rains in southern California.

Anyhow, my nominee for most pointless item ever is the expensive set of pots and pans that I was forced to buy as a wedding gift for a cousin who, it turns out, doesn't even cook, but that didn't stop her from asking for top-of-the-line cookware.

Electric can openers rate pretty high on my list. Unless you're an arthritic pensioner.
