Bottle Openers

Perhaps amazingly, perhaps not, but within a week of the WSJ running a picture and text about a uniquely designed bottle opener, the NYT expanded on the theme and produced a scavenger's guide to bottle openers last Thursday in its Home Section.

The NYT piece is more informative and gives you a sense of how something as simple as a bottle opener can be turned into an object d'art by designers.

This if course caused me to e-mail the reporter and tell them that the lowly bottle opener has a nickname of being called a "church key".  The e-mail didn't come back as undeliverable, so I have to assume they at least got it.

No response was ever received, but that's the way it can be with reporters. Some of them don't like it when you might know something they don't.
