They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I will not be ordering one of these any time soon!

LMAO! I read the link last night, 'in defense of Darwin-clock' and I thought, why is this fool posting something about a Darwin, the evolutionary Theorist, clock in the WOTR Thread? I never bothered to click on the link. nope I fear I am getting old rather quickly. sigh
Anyway, I clicked on the link a minute ago, cool clock Baxter, I am the fool, not you, but I must be moving on before I make some other dumb assumptions while here. Catch, you must have to much money Sir! winkngrin

I'm amazed they found anything in Darwin worth bombing.

It were the pubs they was savin'. "God save us!" they screamed. And then it dawned on 'em, "OMG the *&^% pubs!" they exclaimed.

In those days the pubs all had clocks on 'em see.

So there is a historical connection to a job that was vital for the war effort.
