Very Valuable Cradles

The cradle thing is so cute I am going to value everything in terms of cradles.

EUR 400 for a piece of molded plastic with a connector to existing wiring.

I just paid $74k for well optioned X5d. For the same money I could have bought 135 of this snap in adapters. All that metal, wiring, assembly, paint, wheels, leather, wood, espressos at the dealer.....is worth 135 cradles.

Try surprising your wife by giving her 140 cradles -5 more- and see how much joy you will bring into her life.

10 cradles gets you an intl biz class seat.

4 cradles gets you a very nice mountain bike.

1 cradle gets you a descent suite in many hotels

1 cradle drive my car for 3,400 miles -it buys 130 gallons of diesel, which was easily lifted out of the ground in a hostile country, shipped 1000s of miles, refined, trucked to a station and sold.

1 cradle is the per annum income for many people around the globe

3 cradles gets you an LED TV that is at least 42"

1 cradle buys you a fridge that is good enough for a rental apt.

.....

These cradles are really valuable.
