For some reason, this lock reminds me of Ireland. There's the colors, of course... but something about the designs makes me think of Irish artwork, as well.
Hilariously, this is the first I've heard of it. I'm usually the last to know because Joe doesn't tell me anything. Basically, he knows (of course) at the time of the discovery, before the press release, but he doesn't tell me because I'm not LIGO staff so I'm not supposed to know (although when there are like thirty texts at 2 a.m. I can figure out something is up, as happened with the discovery that eventually won the Nobel Prize), and then by the time the press release comes around it's old news to him so he forgets to tell me. *g*
