O Relógio - de Khawajah Nasr Al-Din
O relógio de Nasrudin vivia marcando a hora errada.
- Mas será que não dá para tomar uma providência? - alguém comentou.
- Qual providência? - falou o Mullá.
- Bem, o relógio nunca marca a hora certa. Qualquer que seja a providência tomada, já será uma melhora.
Nasrudin deu uma martelada no relógio. O relógio parou.
- Você tem toda a razão. De fato, já dá para sentir uma melhora, disse ele.
- Eu não quis dizer "qualquer providência", assim literalmente. Como é que o relógio pode estar melhor do que antes agora?
- Bem, antes ele nunca marcava a hora certa. Agora, pelo menos, duas vezes por dia ele vai estar certo.
Moral: É melhor estar certo algumas vezes do que jamais estar certo.

Digital painting from scene in Revenge of the Sith. Obi Wan and Anakin battle on the lava planet Mustafar. I really enjoyed all the beautiful orange colors in that scene from Revenge of the Sith. I titled this work from movie title by Stanley Kubrick. Thought the pose chimed symbolism of a clock with the hour growing late and soon demise of Anakin Skywalker and the birth of Darth Vader. The precision and choreagraphy of the duel between them also seemed so precise almost clockwork as they battled.
View of the Clock Tower in downtown Sapporo. It's was built in the mid- to late-1800s as part of what is now Hokkaido University. It's a huge tourist attraction. I've never been inside (they charge too much for my tastes) so I can't say what's there...

No cuckoos in sight on this clock mural in the children's section of Winchester library (sorry - Discovery Centre)
it is not made like this with intent, it just hangs there on the wall near to my office. the sun shines on it in summertime, i think that's why the clock face is broken.
The Astronomical Clock's face not only tells the time, but relates the movement of the planets around earth and the sun and moon through the signs of the zodiac. It is decorated with paintings by Josef Manes.
Abberley is home to Abberley Hall School, a preparatory school set in the grounds of Abberley Hall, which also contain the Abberley Clock Tower, the setting for the children's book by Gene Kemp, The Clock Tower Ghost.
The name Abberley probably relates to the 6th century Saxon chief Eobald, by way of Eobaldelega, then Eobaldsleigh. Abberley is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086-7 as Edboldelege, when it was The Clock Tower was commissioned in 1882 and plans were drawn up by the architect J.P. St. Aubyn. The builders were Patman and Fotheringham and their master mason was George Long.
Work began on 29th June 1883 and the topping out was on lst October 1884. On 10th June 1885 a final account was rendered for a total cost of £7980.
The height of the Clock Tower is 161 feet. It has three lower rooms, a sewing room and a clock room as well as two flushing WC's (no longer in use).
The clock is by J.B. Joyce of Whitchurch, the firm which still services it.
The building is certainly prominent and can be seen from six counties. The carillon consisted of 16 bells weighing a total of 21 tons. These were raised into position through a series of trapdoors in each of the floors between ground level and the belfry. The heavy sound louvres are made of 1 1/4 inch plate glass, which have survived intact save one which was broken by a thunderbolt in 1969. Features include the four mosaic clock faces, a sundial and the Jones coat of arms.
Please Note: The Clock Tower forms part of a private estate and is not open to visitors, except on advertised open days.
In 1880, John Joseph Jones, a man of substantial wealth, inherited the Abberley Hall estate. Two years later he commissioned a carillon and clock tower, to be built on Merritt's Hill due north of Abberley Hall. Work began in June 1883 and the edifice was completed in October 1884. This was remarkable progress at a time that most building materials had to be delivered to the site by horse transport, as contemporary photographs show.
