A clock is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". A silent instrument missing such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.
The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day; the lunar month; and the year. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.
The study of timekeeping is known as horology.

LOL, you are so cute mrs. null! Also, how old is Zeke? My kiddo just saw your sig, and laughed out loud!
Also, I really liked the first clock Sarge had posted at first glance.
But then I looked closer and was really offended because I saw the part where it says:
"3(pi-.14)" for 9 o'clock.
It's an approximation!!!!!!! That clock doesn't work either, IMO.
