Just in case you were wondering what time and day it is take a look at the new clock that’s been developed.

Thanks very much. Now I’ve got to sit here for the next 8 months and 10 days because dammit, I **have** to see that sucker roll over next New Years’. On the bright side, I suppose I won’t be at my mother-in-law’s.

As astro said, very nifty.  
(Actually, it’s 16:57 here now and I’m definitely sticking around 'til 5…)

This could become a cult. I’ve just watched it roll over to 5pm (a 5-digit event), and it was curiously satisfying. I wonder what’s the largest digit event anyone in the thread (all 3 of us right now, but I predict great things for this one) has been sad (or perhaps justl ucky, if I’m feeling generous) enough to wait around for…

That is too cool.

I can spend hours looking at that.

That’s really neat! Wow! Could watch it forever, but then I’ve got other things to do, too… _sigh_…
