@Lee once upon a time, a wizard created watches on the wrist for the ladies, then evil pilots said "hey! we need those too!" So the wizard's friends started making these watches for pilots, and men, because more men were pilots then. And now, it became a man's thing... at least according to IWC.
The version of the story I heard is that prior to WWI, wristwatches were considered a feminine accessory. Men carried pocketwatches, but those were unwieldy, so american doughboys adopted wristwatches for field use.
Update on the Louvre Robbery: there are four more being arrested today, unfortunately there's no trace of the jewels being found since October 19th according to BBC News.
You know, there was a question from one of my fb pages I follow that asked, if time travel were possible what event would you visit in history and change. My response was that I'd stop or make sure Hitler were never born. And then I began thinking about it. And thought....how would that change ACME? Would we still be Anerican and international? Would we still have The united nations and NATO?
