How far they can go: Swiss company makes watch of dinosaur poop

18 March 2010 [16:15] - TODAY.AZ
Coprolite Dinosaur Poop Watch If you're going to pay more than $11,000 for a watch, you'd probably want it to be made of gold and encrusted in precious gems... not poop.
But Swiss company Artya has unveiled an expensive new watch, and it's literally made of poop. Dinosaur poop.

The right word for this is, however "coprolite" and these stone leftovers actually play an important role in paleontology.

Oddly enough, I know two people who collect these dino-turds, and they both have the same first name. I won't tell you who they are... but if you know anyone named Ed, don't pick up any stone-like objects they might have around.
