Luna-tic-tock: Facts and fools behind moon rock-made watch

"Own a Sizeable Chunk of the Moon with This Lunar Watch."

That was Gizmodo's headline Thursday morning (Mar. 31), leading to an article about Analog Watch Co.'s new Lunar Watch, "made of a solid piece of genuine moon rock."

And it is not just any old lunar meteorite, either; this moon rock was returned to Earth by the Russians.

No doubt made by unemployed spaghetti farmers following the failure of this year's crop. Happy April 1st everyone.

Were it actually made from a solid piece of moon rock I suspect for many it wouldn't matter what it looked like, it would still be absolutely beautiful...
