[QUOTE=CrucialSeBBi;46287248]Honest Joe gives loans, owns a pawnshop and probably is an used cars salesman. Have you ever seen anyone more legit?[/QUOTE] I think the best sign is one of the tiny ones on the lower windows: Diogenes <line unreadable> came to the end of his search at Honest Joe's Now *that* is fucking legit, when [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_of_Sinope]Diogenes[/url] ends his search for an honest man at your pawnshop. It's also a surprisingly educated advertisement - how many ads do you see today that reference classical philosophers? I can't remember seeing any, and if there were, I would bet they only use Plato or maybe Socrates, not the B-list Diogenes.

[QUOTE=Kydoes;46289784][video=youtube;G3eeHarkOw4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3eeHarkOw4[/video] Dream job[/QUOTE] I'd love to have a real clock like that prototype they briefly showed - made out of clear plastic (plexiglass, looked like?), and big. That way, you'd be able to see all the mechanisms and how they worked. I looked, the closest I can find [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/181332860971?lpid=82]is a quartz clock mechanism[/url], which is hardly as interesting as mechanical timepieces. Mechanical clocks and watches, to me, aren't about knowing the time. If I want accurate timekeeping, a GPS signal is accurate to under 100 nanoseconds, and even a cheap quartz clock will be under a second off per day. They're interesting because of the mechanism - how they do so much, with such simple technology. The engineering work is brilliant - too brilliant, unfortunately, to be understood just by examination, which is why I kind of want one I can see completely while it's in operation.

I like them but I can't help but hate the one with giant scythe arms, but that is from a design and logical standpoint.

[QUOTE=godfatherk;46291525] water stuff [/QUOTE] To me, the oceans and the seas are vastly more terrifying than space. You can look into space, see the blackness and feel small blah blah blah, but you know that if there [b]is[/b] something else out there, it's unimaginably far away. The oceans are right there, and the vast majority of the life in them might as well be aliens to us. Stranded in water is about as extreme as I can imagine a human being out of their element. You are at the mercy of the waves and whatever creatures swim by you. I am wary of deep water even in videogames. It's just as unsettling.
I honestly dont get how someone can be more afraid of the ocean than space. Most out of your element? We can swim pretty nicely and survive floating in water for quite a while depending on the situation. You get stranded by yourself out in space youre guranteed dead, not even mentioning the fact I could survive a while in just my shorts in water compared to space where you can't breathe period and its so cold you would freeze to death anyways. At least with the water animals have certain behaviors and once you know them you can avoid most things, and that isn't even mentioning that anything we havn't discovered yet probably isn't larger than anything we already know of. Why? Because most of the unmapped and unknown species live very deep down where something very large couldn't live and even then why would it swim all the 2 miles up to the top just to eat some dinky random person it didnt even know was there? Space is much scarier, because if you think about it there are multitude of possible events where we would be vaporized in an instant. You think danger is far away in space? The entire fucking thing is literally death and we have yet to devise a way to even efficiently travel in it, let alone survive. But on that note I think they're both mind boggling cool and if given the opportunity I would gladly explore either one.

I've been into watches for a few years, and I'm even considering going back to Uni for horology, it would be awesome to work assembling or repairing mechanical watches. I've read about that watch but didn't realise there was a video of the process! That was like horologist's porn :v

[QUOTE=Funion;46294182]you can't really say that anymore as it's pretty obvious we are getting there before the next century, and life expectancy is growing[/QUOTE] Being alive when we reach another planet doesn't count if you're 87 at the time and too frail to go exploring yourself.
[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;46294184] EDIT: Wait hang on how are you supposed to wear that thing without getting major smudges on one of the glass sides[/QUOTE] I'm almost positive you aren't supposed to actually wear this, just keep it on your desk to show off to your yachting buddies at the annual "lmao we're so rich" get-together.
[QUOTE=godfatherk;46292892]We were born too late to explore the oceans and too soon to explore space.[/QUOTE] i really hate this phrase we explore the oceans and space every day, it's just done with subs and satellites, instead of ships and rockets. we can look to the edge of the observable universe from right here on earth, and we have filmmakers going to the deepest crevices of the ocean for shits and giggles. we are at the perfect time to explore both. the only thing stopping us is motivation. plus, internet porn
[QUOTE=1chains1;46292867]We can ... survive floating in water for quite a while depending on the situation.[/QUOTE] This really depends on the individual though. Some of us simply can't float due to an inability to relax enough to float. (Having a really low body fat percentage also doesn't help.)
