If you're looking for a chuckle – or maybe even some hope that you'll find something you misplaced long ago – maybe this story from the BBC will give you one or both. Farmer James Steele, 95, of Oswestry, Shropshire (which I have verified are real places in England), was tending to his dairy cows with a vet in 1974 when one of his curious bovine workers got a little hungry for a taste of his Rolex. Steele looked for that watch for a while but had long since moooooved on (sorry, I had to), buying himself a new watch and giving up any hope of seeing his original timepiece.

I'd tell you more, but the story itself isn't much longer than what I've already written, so head on to the BBC to find out the happy ending for the Rolex and its (rightful) owner.
