    Every time this is posted the amount of time it took to find increases. I swear the first time I saw this it said something like ‘I just spent the last 10 minutes looking for my iPad’.

      “I finally found the ipad that my beloved grandma passed onto me before her death after 2 years of searching. I’m literally crying right now.”

      "A decades long search. After leaving the latest dig site where we hoped to find the device. I glanced over to my passenger seat. To my surprise, there it was, for nearly 100 years there it always was.

      My grandfather wasted a lifetime of savings exploring the far expanse of this continent in search of this iPad. He died not knowing what became of his beloved, a whisper of defeat on his final breath “Find my device… find my… urgh… never found! Oh God it’s just darkness… I’ll never kno… no noooo…” he said as his face twisted into fear and heart finally gave out. I was only a small boy then, now the years and those words weighed heavily on me.

      Stripped of joy, only sadness flooded into me. With disbelief I reached over as I wept, utterly broken."

      It’s like the iPhone wrong password timeout. The next person that misplaces it will post “I spent 23614974 minutes looking for my iPad!”

    Here we see a prime example of evolutionary camoflauge. The color and patterning of the ipad helps it blend into its natural surroundings and thwart hungry predators looking for an easy lunch.
