The clock, which hangs in the University of Chicago, has been set at seven minutes to midnight since 2002.
Oooooh. This is what someone was saying just recently when she was referring to where Heroes got the "Seven Minutes to Midnight" thing.
Also: what the fuck? I've never heard of this silly clock.
Yeah! The 24 Season Premiere is being processed at Netflix as I write. Thanks for the link Sumi--what timing! With any luck, I'll be able to catch up before the next episode.

Work a campaign...that will kill any phone fear you ever had(except for the scary ones looking for the money I owe them) Sometimes I feel tempted to say "You know, I don't know where that money is either...do you wanna buy a book?
