The Beverly Clock at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, keeps ticking despite not being wound since 1864! The Smile Airways allows passengers to purchase seats for their Luk Thep dolls- believed to possess the spirit of a child and bring good luck! Ludivine, a 2 1/2 year old hound dog, snuck out of her yard to run Elkmont, Alabama's trackless train trek half marathon- finishing seventh at 1:32:56!

Is there a clock on the other side of the wall, that shares a winding spring that no one except the maker knows about?

It is the original Hickory Dickery Dock Clock and the mice that keep running up it are infested with ticks.

Good for them for keeping Ludivine’s time and giving her 7th place, even though she was a dog, LOL!
