Is there a chocolate watch?

I seem to have crossed the 4000 threshold. Do I get a chocolate watch, or some chocolate cake, or something bubbly?

A chocolate watch?
WOn't it melt??
seriously - congratulations on this milestone of chattiness. Or marathon typing.
Virtual chocolate cake all round, now, that certainly won't come amiss.

I recently blessed a new submarine (it is a deep sea search and rescue submarine that will go into service with the navy of the Republic of Korea).

I discovered that DSRV's cannot take more than 10 or 16 people, so that on the first trip at least, they will leave behind some submariners on the stricken submarine. They leave them with a promise of an early return, along with oxygen pencils and CHOCOLATE.

The oxygen is for life support and the chocolate is a virtual hug that says to the submariners who have to wait longer for their rescue that they are valued in the world.

The people who built this submarine are the same company (James (Rumic) Fisher) who used their own kit to rescue the submariners in the Russian Submarine 'Priz' in 2005. At a depth of over 600 feet they located and docked with the stricken submarine and were able to take all hands to safety.
