“But the Cronolator did not sell. But next he invented the primitive stick-jammed-into-the-ground sundial, and the rest was history…

Chronolator – missed it by THAT much!

“Say that again and I’ll clock you!”

That kind of reminds me of that reference to clocks in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar when clocks didn’t exist back in ancient Rome.

Alexander the Great needed a way to keep his generals on schedule, so he tied several strips of coloured cloth together and hung the from the edge of his tent. As the shadow passed each color, it help people keep time. It was so successful that it went down in history.

He forgot the pendulum, so it’ll always be 9:05 (or 10:05, the hour hand is a little out of wack based on the minute hand.)
