Not apocryphal after all


Rico says he was reading Pattern Recognition by the inestimal William Gibson, and ran across this:
"...cufflinks in the form of the RAF roundel that marked the wings of Spitfires."

Rico thought, surely, this is too cool a thing to actually exist. Wrong, as usual. A Google search turned up many sources; the cheap one, out of China, didn't take credit cards (merely those PayPal morons), so he had to step up to a more expensive British firm to get them. As often as he wears cufflinks (okay, not often), it's an extravagance, but some things you gotta have in life...
