Where is the crack, and why is it Rolex's fault? Sorry I'm a bit confused.

I think he means it as a joke... like he cracked it (like an egg) and look what's coming out of it.

You got it Bill.

Humor is tough on the Internet polarinda -- don't lose heart. We take our cyclopi seriously here!

Nah just didn't get it. If you'd captioned it, "made my own cyclops" then it'd be funny.

It sort of looks like the Cyclops is melted or has a clear liquid around it. I see what looks to be cracked glass at the bottom right corner of the Cyclops. It would be great if we had more information to determine what happened. It does looks like it can be repaired and brought back to new. We feel for you Trav and hope you get it back to new soon. Please let us know what happened and keep us informed.

I don't think it is John. I've never seen it written like that so I just did some online research and the general consensus is that cyclops is both singular and plural.

I thought cyclops was the singular but always wondered what is the plural of cyclops? And what is a group of cyclops called? Is it a herd, pack, pride, flock...?

Ah..well I can help you there ... A plethera of Cyclops is refered to as Cyclopedia. Somtimes in the southern hemesphrer ( due to a general strangeness prevaling in this part of the World) Cycloptamania. Either way you will not be wrong and delighted I could help out here.

Cyclopedia, LOL! Thanks, Billy. The wealth of knowledge here never ceases to amaze me.
