It's so pretty, for one thing, available in four colors, including Sapphire Blue and Topaz Gold, and featuring a ring of synthetic diamonds around the exterior display. It also offers "multiple female features," including a biorhythm calculator, a calorie counter, and a calendar that tracks the owner's menstrual cycles. Samsung says the T500 "completes communication for all the descendants of Eve." Except the American ones, apparently.

Mason is considering "four or five" more new deals, including buying a railroad. Stock analysts fear that some of these far-flung adventures could cause the company to stumble again, as it did in 1975. But for now the high price of oil is paying for additions to the Charter conglomerate...
What else may biorhythm be applied to? Opportunities are limitless, says Pete Callinicos, a captain in the Denver fire department who runs a biorhythm business on the side. Callinicos says the theory can put compatible policemen in squad cars, determine the patterns of arsonists and maybe even prevent birth defects.
