Big Ben will be fitted with loud speakers ... and only be used five times a day to call the mohammedans to pray. An end to an era and an end to civilization.

Workmen clean the clock face of St Stephens Tower which houses Big Ben in London Saturday Aug. 11, 2007. Big Ben is losing its bongs — temporarily. The famous bell that sounds the hour at Britain's Houses of Parliament is to fall silent for scheduled repairs for only the fourth time in a century and a half. Officials said the distinctive bongs would strike for the last time at 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) Saturday before four to six weeks of maintenance work on the clock. (AP Photo/Lewis Whyld/PA Wire)

Here is a useless piece of trivia, the people of Australia used to hear Big Ben’s chimes before the British did.

Why? Because the ABC microphone that picked up the sound was several feet closer to the bell than the BBC’s hence the Australians got the input a fraction of a second earlier and the delta was bigger than any transmission time difference over the respective broadcast network.
