That's not a bad idea actually.

Ah... for $350 it only "winds" the self-winding watches. Anyhow, if God wanted us to have to worry about winding our watches anymore he wouldn't have allowed the invention of batteries.

Batteries are from the devil! They power my vibrator and we all know masturbation is a sin

You can go blind from that Jules. Then what good would watches be for you?

I don't know Matt...I can't see it.

Jules - but one of my vibrators has an AC adaptor... does that mean electricity is from the devil too??

Ladies, I saw a gas powered model in some old movie once. Something about the size of a chainsaw motor was on it. Do these things really exist? ❓

I always joked about diesel powered ones with four forwards and a reverse, but for real???? 🐛

However I did see a chainsaw powered by a car engine though. It took two large lumberjacks to lift it. Cut through one of those huge competition logs in under 2 seconds. God, the internet is a wonderful thing!

Expat, check out F#$k Machines.com (NSFW) You might be impressed with what exists. Granted the items on the page are not for sale but they exist.

Expat47 - I have never seen such a miraculous invention but I am intrigued

Expat47, are you referring to the movie Top Secret, where the guy died using the sex-toy?
