My computer, WAN, cellphone, watch, the telephone company, car, radio, atomic clock all give a different time so does anybody really know what time it is?

The closer I get to light speed the slower the clock gets. I guess it’s the price I pay for driving fast.

As the plates said, "IAM L8", "GOTA D8", "GR8 4ME." With out accurate time you might lose out and it would be, "2BAD 4U" So following your chiropractors advice, "be sure to do your monthly adjustment"

Geez.... 80 years ago you started the car whirling a crank.

Now we have clock drift as a concern? Intel can make a P4

but my PC drifts 3 min a month....Geez, technology

We interrupt this program to give you an important message...

*** W A R N I N G ***

DO NOT drive at the speed of light at night. No one will see your headlights.

Thank you,

and now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Yea, I've noticed it at times. :evil: I've even gotten to the point to purposely go out to the car a few minutes before I actually want to take off, check the clock, :evil:

I DEMAND a Group recall!!!
