@kirby that's a Breitling Chronomat, one of the first watches to have a slide-rule bezel

Later on the same idea was picked up by pilots

Cerne Abbas Man is a 55m high chalk figure depicting a man with a prominent erection and brandishing a club and is theorised to have been constructed in the 17th century to annoy Cromwell

@Jo turns out nobody watching fox news when it was available over here was the first action of operation "make trump uncomfortable on his holiday"
