................ a bit of a wild 'time' with a clock!!!
A weird film worth watching (in my opinion) " The House with a Clock in its Walls "
Strange Facts About Time/Clocks:
Despite what we’ve been taught, a day isn’t a full 24 hours. It actually takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.2 seconds for the earth to rotate once.
The first known civilization to keep track of time were the Sumerians, who settled in Mesopotamia (now Iraq). Their calendar was based on the moon and it had 30 days divided into 12 periods that, again, had 30 parts.
Clockwise and counterclockwise were originally sunwise and widdershins before clocks were common.
Now you know - and maybe even knew before!!
