2009-04-01 Pling! Boom! Squeek!
In New Zealand people drive on the left side of the road. No big deal. I'm not sure about their preferences regarding laevorotatory and dextrorotatory, but here's a new bit of trivia for you: Kiwis wear their wedding rings on the left hand! If you're not from Germany, let me tell you that people there wear it on their right. The left hand is for the engagement ring. Personally, I like it better on the right because I'm left-handed. My left hand must not be modified in any way. Kristine, who is also left-handed, is going to wear hers on the left anyway. So when we'll be holding hands (which is what married couples only do in the early years when they still talk to each other), you'll be able to hear the clonk-clonk of the rings.

In other news, March is over. And just like last year, that means Armageddon Expo in Christchurch. Last year I was able to talk to a comic artist, see the premiere of a Stargate SG 1 movie and heaps of other cool things. Compared to that, this year was kind of lame. Last year multiplied by 0.7. But at least now I can say that I saw Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst "perform" (i.e. talk to each other) live. The funny thing is that I recognized Kevin when he was walking around on the expo, but I mistook the guy next to him (Michael) for his bodyguard. Good thing I was too shy to approach him.
The only real highlight of the expo was Michael Winslow's performance. He can really do it! Too bad neither the hifi system (bad sound) nor the venue itself (too small) was up to it.

German habits are proven over the centuries. Having dedicated hands (besides fingers) for engagement and wedding rings enables us to be engaged and married at the same time, possibly involving the same woman.
A compromise on left/right handedness would be to wear your wedding rings around your necks. There's a company in Germany that makes those (forgot the name, I can probably dig it up). They come with an embedded padlock or a permanent locking mechanism that can't be opened at all. Nice thing is the attachable chain.
Yes, I'm trying to be helpful. I feel the need to reiterate this over.
Further, I recommend to manufacture your rings not from gold (prices are up). Use palladium or rhodium - both have industrial uses, so prices are down right now. Sell them for double later!!!
Did I mention that "helpful" stuff?
I hope the company's website or leaflet gives advice on questions such as "How To Sell Rings Later When They Are Forged Around Your Neck" and "How To Avoid Electromagnetic Induction In Wedding Rings". Now that would be helpful.
