    Lamebook had the same "story" in December (linky), with the same person's Facebook post from last October.

    It's been doing the rounds for a while.

    Apparently short-sighted people used to use them to read small print, although why they didn't just wear specs I can't imagine.

    Anyway, I kept the thing as it might go up in value slightly in a century or two, however useless it seems now.

    I feel sorry for Paul Ness growing up in my village, the number of crank calls he got asking for Mr Ness, Mr P Ness must have been astronomical
