Yes I knew this, I am actually a bit of a fan of Daft Punk.

The oversupply of lawyers is really getting out of hand. One of them is suing Kellogg's for not having enough strawberries in their Strawberry Pop Tarts.

I just saw one of these backward clocks somewhere (online). Its purpose is ostensibly to be hung on the wall opposite the front hall mirror, where you could see it reflected while getting ready to go out.

Clock on our living room wall. It's easier for my wife to read - she's dyslexic.

Thank God it still accepts an "AA" battery, even in reverse! But do you have to reverse the polarity, though?

If it reversed in time will the current flow backwards (Ben Franklin style)?

Yes but only if you write on it backwards.Someone should take one of those backwards clocks and a regular forward clock and tie the clock hands together and let them fight out the time, "survival of the fastest"

Rare photograph, 'cause usually it was a howling whiteout blizzard.
