There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

Pen is The Most Important Invention of Humanity.
The history of the pen begins with the history of mankind. Primitive people painted on the walls of caves with pointed stone. Even before our era, the Babylonians squeezed cuneiform with a pebble — the first letter on raw clay. In ancient Greece, they wrote on waxed tablets using a stylus, a pointed copper or bone stick.
The brush was the forerunner of all pen types. In China, it was made from camel or rat wool and dipped in ink. The oldest ink recipe contained pine tar soot, lamp oil, and donkey skin gelatin.
And in Europe came up with ink that does not fade for centuries. They were made from iron salts and ink nuts - painful growths that appear on the leaves of trees due to the activity of some insects.
Ink began to be used in ancient Rome. The first handle was a bamboo or reed stem. One end of it is sharp, cut off at an angle - that's all! The pen could be dipped in ink and written.
Only in the 8th century AD, people thought that a reed could be replaced with a feather. The pen is more comfortable to hold, and it lasts longer.
But to prepare him for writing is very difficult. In the spring, a strong young goose must pull out one of the five outer feathers, and it must be from the left wing (if you take a feather from the right wing, you will block the writing when writing). Then the feather must be burned in the hot sand, so that it becomes dry and hard. Then sharpen the tip of a penknife...
