    Don’t some railway clocks in Europe pause once a minute, then jump two seconds on the next tick when they hit the 0 mark?

  6. Pablo says:

    Does anybody really know what time it is?

    You know, I can’t imagine why…

    Between each second is eternity.

    I’m glad to see you included the inflationary period.  But I think more like 8 x 10^15 line breaks would have been more accurate.

    TW: theory— Turing, you one spooky mofo.

    I’m assuming this is an open thread, Jeff, and so was wondering if you’d seen this.

    I believe it’s the same Mona.  There cannot be two Monas in this world that write that way.

    Sadly Slart, I followed your link to see it.

    Blast your hide for providing the temptation. I used to think good thoughts of Q and O. That’s a real disappointment.

  22. Phone Technician in a Time of Roaming says:

    The time on my watch is set by radio, and my handheld computer’s time is set by an atomic clock as well. When I have an appointment, they both go off at exactly the same moment, and I am filled with the satisfaction and joy of having two clocks, which agree on the time within a second or so.

    Is that pathetic, or what?

    TW: My parents hope I will someday discover girls.

    I always thought clocks went tic tock, tic tock…

    I’m sooo confused today.

    TW: OK, I always thought clocks said Tic tock!
