Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hmmm, I'm surprised Pryor took a break from his constant campaigning for an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution that would ban gay marriage.

Talk about strange bedfellows. Well, maybe he'll follow this intelligent realization through to some other logical conclusions.

Hey, it could happen. Um.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

Suddenly I want to know -- if a clock is broken so that it's gaining a minute a day, when is the next time it'll be telling the right time?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I am sad for me, that I understood the last 980 posts in this thread.

It became clear that at my age, I shall always be a nerd.

I'm craving a formula.

I'm also tired and punchy and talking smack about co-workers.

720 days?

That's 12x60 days, you're thinking?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think the expression is "A stopped clock is right twice a day." But, even if the clock were broken and accelerating or slowing (and isn't reset every day, e.g.), it will still be right now and then. In ita's example, it would next be right 23h (or 11h, depending on the clock) 59m after the last time it was right.
