I have a Seiko. As it is automatic, I doubt it would have accurate time after 3 years.

Santa says "I thought I left that on your mother's nightstand".

Hatun said the ice breaking off is not related to global warming, as the phenomenon was first observed more than 100 years ago.

So if something has never been observed before, it is necessarily due to "global warming". I love media illogic.

"So in that sense, the fact that objects from the North Pole can drift south is old news," he said."

Sounds like a typical FARKer

Santa would comment, but don't have the time....

that objects from the North Pole can drift south

Well, where farking else could they possibly float to?

This would make a good commercial.

Umm, that isn't what they are saying at all. Because it's been observed over 100 years ago, it isn't being attribute to global warming, which is considered a more modern phenomenon. No one is saying that the reverse is true.

At one time they (early explorers) thought there was a large mass of open water up there, which is why the floes headed south.

Read Ninety Degrees North for an interesting history of polar exploration. Those guys were *core*.

An group of 18 islands halfway between Scotland and Iceland.

And you thought you lived out in the boonies.

I'm going to bury a bunch of watches in various places, just so future generations can get a kick out of digging them up. I bet they'll sell pretty well, depending when they're found, and the dude who finds them will be super-stoked at getting all that cash. It's kinda like giving a stranger a fortune. I think that should cancel out the busload of nuns, orphans and fluffy bunnies I set on fire.

Meh... that only makes since if you aren't aware that it's been warming for 300-400 years. ~100 years ago, warming was already well underway.

Lucky kid.

That watch is probably worth $500 large, minimum.

I would hold out for a Big One, myself.

Hope you didn't take offense at that!
I'm having one of those days where I wise off about everything I see and that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that graph.

Do they even make SpiroGraphs today? They were a big deal in 1970 when I got one!!

/guess they were trumped a little by computers!

I wasn't offended! I was laughing to myself!

I had a spirograph when I was a kid, I think. Wonder if I could get one today.

I had a Spirograph as a kid. The damn thing always made me feel autistic, though. I couldn't get it to do anything.

Is there any other direction they can drift from the North Pole?

Probably a piece of crap Casio he got in a carnival crane game.
