that is clever you can make time fly.
 
when you move the mouse, the second hand isn't moving correctly.

this invalidates the clock.

QED
 
It seems to think the date has something to do with "Yadnom" and "Rebmeced", and that the year is 3002.

What a broken clock...
 
more proof that the clock is invalid.

it's pretty cool though. :smile:
 
I've seen this before, I really like those.
