Most redundant clock ever In the library I am sitting in, there is a clock (which looks like your standard 12-hour clock) and then there is a series of clock numbers on the wall around it that aren't on the clock.

What the fuck is up with that?

If it's an old library I bet it used to have a built-in wall clock that was just a set of hands. Eventually it had to be replaced, and they had to use a standard wall clock.

Well, as everyone knows, when the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 - major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth - known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown.

The 4-equidistant Time points can be considered as Time Square imprinted upon the circle of Earth. In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24 hour Days within a single rotation of Earth - equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube.

I hope that helps.

Librarians are very nice, but not the most creative people on the face of the earth.
