So, I enjoy reading all of your signatures, but sometimes, I don't know what they mean, and, at any rate, I'd like to know a bit about the background for it.

Here's mine:

Navitimer World, blue face with steel bracelet

Carpe aleae!

The Navitimer World qualifies for membership to the Full Ling club, and it's the only Breitling I own. Mine has the blue face and steel bracelet.

Carpe aleae means "seize the dice", and is particularly apt as I am a longtime player of board games, card games and roleplaying games.

So, that's me sorted, now it's your turn!

I'm a scientist, so im obligated to respect Einstein. I thought the quote in my signature was apt for a forum that is about the measurement of "time"- a concept on which Einstein shed so much light. Also it's a little funny :wink:

Also, my avatar is Gary Larson's rendering of the man and is the quintessential image of Einstein in my mind. I grew up on The Far Side, which oddly may be the reason I'm in the sciences today.

1. I'm a lawyer. (Sharkman, get it? :P )

2. The Breitlings I own.

3. I am too inept to put any fun graphics in my signature.

I change my watch collection more often than I change my underwear therefore 'I don't own any watches, I just lease them' I trade them in for a newer model. That's jut may lame attempt at humor.

Ummm, if you have to explain it, is it really conveying what you want?

My actual name is Dweezil Lipschitz, and I own a large assortment of Invictas. I planned on using my first name but, for the heck of it, I tried something more mundane when I registered assuming it would be rejected as taken. It wasn't so I kept it, along with a random list of watches I thought looked cool on the internet.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it since the truth is so boring and obvious. Maybe I should jazz it up sometime.
