Memento Mori

DUDE AWESOME APRIL FOOLS IDEA:
Make a clear sticker with those two hands pointing at a random time: The hour hand will read "You will die" and the minute hand will read "when the hands match" and then stick it on some dudes watch when he's not looking!

@daftrok: AWESOME if I were 6 years old, and retarded.

I want to know why on earth somebody would design something like that.
Who is the focus market for such a product?
Cancer patients? (That would be in poor taste)
Paranoid people? (Shouldn't feed the flames.)
Overly optimistic people? (Possible, but it sounds kind of mean.)

Whatever the reason, it sounds disturbing.

@Polywhirl: To be edgy and nihalistic.

Theres a sister model. "Remember, After the warranty I will break"

Taking the morally superior ground (hypothetically of course) one could also view this time piece as a gentle reminder to live life to it's fullest. Of course it could just remind you to FTW!

@tutelary:
Fuck you!

@daftrok:
Do you kiss your father with that mouth?

wow, this is quickly turning into a mature discussion. (and he's right btw).

I would totally buy this watch though, I don't like to know what time it is very often and I'd prefer to use that wrist space for something expressive.

@morbo: ahhahahahaha you made me laugh sooo hard

I think it would look better if the face was filled with pungent urine.

The watch is kinda neat. But the banter in the reply thread here is seriously making my day. :P

@Sean

Damn...this thing would make me question everything I do. "I would like to grab a beer and relax guys but it is already 3:45! I should be climbing Mt. Everest right now!"

Dude, this watch applies to climbers on Mt. Everest more than anyone else on the planet!

@mcjake: Learning to spell? If you're gonna use a $10 dollar word - spell it correctly. Then your smugness would be warranted.

Wow.

It's already 12:38 and I'm still a virgin.

What am I doing with my life?

I think that it's not depressing at all but wonderful. It's true we all will die, and the more we keep the fact of our death in mind the more we are likely to be able to keep life in perspective -- we don't own anything not even our own bodies -- but for now, we get the use of them, and all the petty childish tribulations which seem so big -- really aren't. Who gives a rat's ass about whether our boss is mad at us or we will run out of money or we aren't popular or... fill in the blank. We spend so much of our energy pretending these types of things are important and we will live forever that we end up wasting our lives waiting for something that never happens. THAT is depressing.

hey hourologist who designed this watch: Go shit and fall back in it!
