Tock Tick

By Anne Skove, Esq.

We once possessed a Kit-Kat clock that broke when it leapt (we swear!) from the kitchen wall onto the floor.

One courthouse's clocks have not been so rash, but are malfunctioning. Apparently, the chimes cause a short. Now somebody has to climb up there to fix them. See Western Pa. Courthouse Clock Causing Confusion, AP (December 6, 2009).

Alas, the clocks in Mercer, Pennsylvania, may be in better shape than the clock tower from the Back to the Future movies. That part of the set was almost destroyed by fire last year (but it was saved!). Struck by a bolt of lightning precisely at 10:04 pm, no doubt...
