We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Stephen Gower saying something like:

You'd think they'd mount it in a block of polished teak with embossed brass and a velvet lining.

You have to marvel at the crap some people come up with though... For starters they look no better than a bog standard pasivated posi screw. Secondly gold or white gold would seem to have exactly all the wrong attributes desirable for a screw anyway! Soft, ductile, marks easily, would probably twist off in the wood!

and that diamond in the middle won't help locate the screwdriver.
