All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Under might work most of the time, but on top would be more likely to catch the strong trigger scents before they reach you. It does blow air out in a relatively directional way which might make your legs cold if it's under the desk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cool. Thanks.

Something like this [link] might be more useful for under the desk. I don't know anything about this particular one, but it has less of a front/back than the Holmes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh my. I think I'm their target market:

Top 10 Geek Watches

If geeking out on the details is your thing, this Frank Gehry- designed Negative/Positive Display watch may be right up your alley. The watch screen features the architect’s own script, displaying time in shorthand: “half past 11,” “6 til 1,” etc. Another neat design quirk about this watch, which we originally saw back in January, is the positive display during the day, which automatically switches to a negative display during the night.

Want.

I love the nixie watch, and wish it could be smaller.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've been lusting after that Gehry watch for over a year now. I should just get it already.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Anyone know what the current Yen to Dollars exchange rate is?

About $117 to 1 yen according to yahoo.

You mean $1.17 per yen, right? And when that site says a watch is ¥21900, they mean ¥219.00, right?

Or else all those watches are about two million dollars apiece.
