Indeed, it might. I fully admit to being taken in for a few minutes, because it reminded me of my favorite "niche market" item, a wristwatch that appeared in the Nineties that sold for $100,000. It wasn't even heavily jeweled, but it was on backorder for *three years*. Why? It was clunky, and not terribly attractive, but six times a day -- at prayer time -- it chimed gently, and then its built-in GPS system whirred for a while and then pointed the direction to Mecca. It was all the rage among wealthy Arabs, so much so that they were willing to pay that much money and then wait three years to get one. Brilliant April Fool's joke. Deep bow. :-) > It will all go to crap. As if it hasn't already. That's why it's so believable. > Don't do anything that's not due east. Do you have to walk > sideways to always catch the sun? I found myself imagining two Rajas trying to have a conversation and continually circling one another trying to be the one who is facing East during the conversation. :-) Or, in the recent festivities in Vlodrop, wondering who got to face East? Was it Maharishi, up on his throne, or the...uh...paying customers in the audience? Nicely done, hermandan.
