02/23/2012 - my buddy is selling this Cannondale Super V500 mountain bike. it's got a dual suspension and is in pretty decent shape
Astronomical Clock - It might look quite good, but its really not worth the wait. The ammount of people standing around on the hour waiting for it to chime would suggest that its good. Its absolute bobbins.
The centrepiece of the show that draws a crowd of spectators every time the clock strikes the hour is the procession of 12 Apostles. First the figure of Death, the skeleton on the right of the clock, give a pull on the rope that he holds in his right hand. In his left hand is an hourglass, which he raises and inverts. Two windows then open (see previous photo) and the clockwork Apostles move slowly round led by St Peter.
At the end of this part of the display, a cock crows and the clock chimes the hour. The other moving figures are a Turk, who shakes his head from side to side, Vanity, who looks at himself in a mirror and Greed, adapted from the original medieval stereotype of a Jewish moneylender.
