Hey, on the one watch, two watch one that Lela posted, I think I understand it! If a man had two watches, he would look at one and see that it was 5:14 and 1 second. Then, when he went to look at his other watch to verify the time, he would see 5:14 and 2 seconds. He would never be completely sure what time it was... Not on first thought, anyways. It wouldn't take that long (no pun intended) to find out what was happening.

that works but also you can't set two watches EXACTLY to each other so you're never sure which one's correct. Unless you get atomic watches, then you've eliminated the problem.
Ok, I want to hear what you guys think. I will post what I think tomorrow night. Give me opinions, dang it!Would you rather have a clock that was one second behind or dead? Dead meaning not moving at all, stuck on some random time.
...the one that was one second behind...
One second behind... most of my clocks are 5 minutes behind, so I don't care too much about a second.
Ok. Everyone keep posting your thoughts. I will answer tonight.
Alright, so if you wanted a technically correct watch, you would go with the one that had died. A watch that had died would be correct two times a day, whereas a clock that was one second behind, wouldn't ever be correct.
But if you knew it was a second behind, you would just add the second. I just meant technically and specifically, the clock would be better off dead... Literally.
Oh yeah, I've heard that one before.But I don't like my watches dead.
my clocks are all plug in because i dunnot like watches, the question is wierd for me because i am constantly resseting my time, becuase we get a lot of power outages and my parents get pissed about my headbanging music. The only mobile time peace i have is my i-ppod.
Someone stole my watch....GO IPODS!
ok heading way back....people have sex when they r not trying to have babies because whatever genius wired our brains made it so that we want to reproduct so that t he human race wont die out so they made it feel good and people feel deprived if they arent enjoying it on a regular basis.

Umm, ok then. Are you sure you're not a 30 year old in a tiny body?

i hope not gosh.......people have told me that before, though, riley, so its nothing new.
Yeah, it's something you "secretly" know, but you feel like it's untrue.
You know how i found out the Easter bunny wasn't real?I was in kindergarden, and i caught my teacher painting gold footprints in the halls.
Lol, now i think its all commercialized bull crap.
Kinda. And I learned about it in first grade. I was watching comedy central and then I asked my mom what the stuff the comedian was talking about was.
BLA!! i was SO sad when i found out santa was fake. it made christmas SO BORING.
I was sad at first, then life went on and I got a wii from 'Santa' so all is forgiven. "D
Haha, things work out that way, don't they?
