Rings with Tiny Worlds inside of Them

Theo Fennell, a master jeweler from the UK, has designed a wide array of rings that contain tiny dioramas. Little gold doors flip open on hinges, showing inner landscapes and characters. He often takes his inspiration from classic stories, such as The Wizard of Oz and The Secret Garden. Pictured above is the Yellow Brick Road, which leads to the Emerald City.

How does someone GET a job like this without being able to read?

Then again, I actually did try to take the exam for the postal service once. It took the administrators of the test 45 minutes to explain to everyone there how to fill out the name portion of the test. No joke. The entire test was supposed to take less than an hour, and I ended up not taking the exam because I was an instructor and had to get to my next class. Gave me a whole new perspective on the level of intelligence the government seemed to be looking for.

According to the linked story, he worked at the postal service as a clerk for two years before becoming a carrier. His entry-level position may not have required much reading.

Years ago a co-worker was asked by his neighbor to fill out his income tax because he couldn't read. Neighbor was a mail sorter who had leaned to recognize the names of towns on the envelopes.
