Slightly OT: Spot the deliberate mistake

You mean the glow in the dark sundial part? I looked this up and that is actually for real. This was a premium in a cereal box as a multipurpose jungle survival tool. It also had a compass and the back could be used as a signal mirror.

Har! GITD, when you couldn't read it anyway.

Glow in the dark or the signal mirror?

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

So you can see and avoid it?

It is a bit obvious, agreed.

The $3,800 "antique" sundial with a signal gun and the gnomon the wrong way round was just as amusing but perhaps a bit more obscure.

No no. The reason that antique sundial hasn't worn all its gears out from telling the time over the years is _because_ the gnomon was backwards: that's why it was sitting in an attic somewhere.

Jeesh.

Wheaties is a brand of cereal, not watches. While it came in a box of Wheaties I doubt General Mills made it.

You don't beleive that Wheaties would work for gears? They are hard & sharp enough.
