you know that clock was suggested on FR, don’t you? I don’t know if it was the first, but it was suggested here, at least twice, over the summer.
I didn't know that, but there is a substantial distance between an idea and its execution. Reminds me of a recent episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which Larry David brags that he's an inventor because he's always coming up with great ideas for new inventions. (His favorite one: skis that screw together like a cue stick).
