It’s amazing when you lose something and stop looking for it… gave up hoping of finding it again… never ever… but suddenly it appears after years later… like sixteen years later… and it is more amazing coz the way you found it back…  😛

Well, this is what happened to Lena Paahlsson of Sweden… she lost her white gold wedding ring 16 years ago in December 1995 and it reappears again in October 2011… If getting back what you lost 16 years ago is almost impossible, what make it more amazing is that the way she found it… she found it on a carrot she grows in her garden… 😛

Sixteen years ago, she took off her ring and put it on the kitchen counter to do some baking with her daughter for Christmas. When she realize it gone missing, the family tried to search for it everywhere in the kitchen… they even open-up their farm house floorboards but still can’t find it… she gave up… 🙁

That was until recently in October this year when she was picking the last carrots in her garden… suddenly she saw a glimmering metal ring around the carrot… and realize the ring is her wedding ring she lost 16 years ago… it’s hard to believe but the family believes the ring must have fallen among the potato peels which was fed to the sheep or turned into compose. So, if it was eaten by the sheep, the sheep must have pooped it in the garden… or if it was mixed into compose, then it must have been thrown into to the garden as fertilizer… that are two explanations the family can give. But if they have Metal Detectors at that time, they could have found it earlier… 😛

Anyway, the ring no longer fits Mrs Paahlsson anymore… she plans to enlarge it so that she can wear it again… another amazing lost and found story… 😀

After nearly 40 years, a long lost light reflector that was left on the surface of the moon by the Soviet Union has been found. The reflector was left on the surface of the moon during the  Soviet Luna 17  mission on the 17 November 1970. The laser reflector is French made. It sure a wonderful feeling to those who have connection with the mission and the light reflector… The Russian must be celebrating the finding with their best vodka… 😀

Anyway, I also found my long lost ATEN Master View USB KVM switch last week… it was stacked in one of the drawers… I sure have lots of treasures hidden in my drawers… I used the KVM switch more than 5 years ago… it was the first KVM switch with USB ports… yes, it is with 2 USB ports 😀 It has the usual PS2 ports for the keyboard and mouse… but during that time, I have the Microsoft Explorer mouse which is USB type… that’s the reason I needed a KVM switch with USB ports… and I connect 3 CPU onto it… 😀
