So I'm getting ready for work this morning and one minute it's 8:00 and I go to the kitchen and when I come back, suddenly it's 8:10. And I look at the clock and it remains 8:10 (probably because it knows I'm watching). Then I do something else and look up and it's 8:20.
This is an analog clock, so there's no computer in it to want to screw with me. Not like the clock on the microwave that cooks my food for either half the time I set or twice as long, so that I'm either biting into a frozen Lean Pocket or a boiling hot, about to explode, one. I swear, when computers finally conquer humanity, that microwave is going to be a Gruppenführer, that Nazi bastard.
So do I have a metric clock that measures time in decaminutes? Maybe it doesn't register 8:11, 8;12, 8:13 on its face, but as soon as it passes 8:19:59, the minute hand jumps from 8:10 to 8:20. Is that possible? Probably not. It's probably just a side-effect of my pouring Wild Turkey on my Cap'n Crunch.
