...never one to shy from promotion, gave an Oyster to Mercedes Gleitze, who wore it to swim across the English Channel. The Oyster Perpetual broke the sound barrier with Chuck Yeager in 1947 and reached the peak of Everest with Edmund Hillary in 1953. Rolex is still considered the gold standard among watch collectors.

Luckily, space is a gold mine. A geologist by training, Benson points out that all those comets and asteroids tumbling around in near-Earth orbit contain water and minerals.

...Number 23 Celluloid Gold I really have to remind you about the purpose of “Trailer Roundup” on this one: We’re evaluating the trailer, not the movie. This movie can only be awful. But please, for the love of all that is holy, see the trailer. If you think of it as an intentionally funny two-minute movie, you’ll have a rollicking good time. Jim Carrey finds about the eponymous number; madness ensues. Someone professorial-looking reminds him that two divided by three is “666?...
